Coffee Processing - Experimental Fermentation

Learn with Paradox - Experimental Fermentation

We’re continuing our Learn with Paradox series with the next step in the coffee journey: Coffee Processing - Experimental Fermentation.

At Paradox Coffee Roasters, we’re passionate about sharing our knowledge and love for coffee. In this series, we take you through each stage of the process from seed to cup.

Fermentation plays a vital role in coffee processing. It’s where flavour really takes off. Today, producers are pushing boundaries, borrowing from winemaking and using controlled fermentation techniques to unlock bold and unique cup profiles. By adjusting oxygen, temperature and microbes, they are transforming coffee into expressive and flavour packed brews.

Scroll through to learn more about experimental fermentation methods like carbonic maceration, yeast inoculated fermentation, anaerobic fermentation and thermal shock.
