Drying Coffee Correctly: Why Moisture Control Matters

Correct coffee drying means reducing moisture steadily enough to stabilize the seed without creating mold, re-wetting, case hardening, or uncontrolled fermentation. The target is not one universal number or drying duration; buyers and producers should monitor process conditions, final moisture and, where useful, water activity, then protect the lot during storage.
