FAQs
Washed process, also known as the wet process, is a method of removing the coffee cherry’s fruit from the bean before drying. This technique uses water to separate the beans from the pulp, resulting in a cleaner, brighter cup profile that highlights the coffee’s natural acidity and nuanced flavors.
Washed process coffees are known for their clarity and vibrant acidity. You’ll often notice crisp, fruity notes and a lighter body compared to natural or honey-processed coffees, which tend to be heavier and more fruit-forward. If you love a clean, complex cup that lets origin characteristics shine, washed coffees are a great choice.
Washed process beans work beautifully across most brewing methods—especially pour over, drip, and espresso—thanks to their clean flavor profile. Their bright acidity and clarity make them particularly popular for manual brewing methods where subtle flavors can really stand out.
Washed processing is especially common in Central and South America, as well as East Africa. Countries like Colombia, Ethiopia (particularly in certain regions), Kenya, and Guatemala are well-known for producing exceptional washed coffees.
To preserve freshness and flavor, store your washed process beans in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. For best results, keep them at room temperature and grind just before brewing. Avoid storing coffee in the fridge or freezer unless absolutely necessary.
