Carbonic Maceration 🍒 Carbonic maceration, a processing technique borrowed from the wine industry, is making waves in the world of specialty coffee for its ability to create truly unique flavour profiles. 🌱 This method is a variation of anaerobic fermentation but with a twist—coffee cherries or depulped beans are placed in pressurised containers filled with carbon dioxide. The result? A highly controlled environment that allows producers to manage variables such as temperature, oxygen levels, and pH. Here’s how it works: The pressurised tanks can be adjusted to fine-tune the fermentation process, allowing for precise control of oxygen through the addition of carbon dioxide. This careful manipulation of conditions leads to the formation of distinct and intensified flavour notes that are not typically achievable through traditional fermentation methods. 🌾 During the carbonic maceration process, the coffee undergoes a transformation as the lower oxygen environment reduces typical yeast derived fermentation. This means the initial fermentation is not caused by yeast, but instead occurs intracellularly (from the inside out). So, what is the result for the final cup? ☕ The result is a complex coffee filled with vibrant flavours, including sweet berries, tropical fruits, and a winey acidity. The clarity and uniqueness of these coffees remain why this method has continued to grow in popularity in recent years 📈 --- #CoffeeEducation #CarbonicMaceration #BringingYouTheWorldOfCoffee #BennettsCoffee #Specialty
