Coffee: Process & Capacity.

The ideal conditions for growing coffees are generally only met in the mountains regions in the coffee-growing countries. They include the right temperatures, even rainfall, rich, fertile and well-drained soil, humidity, and light. This is why the Kono Coffee plant is located in the perfect location - the volcanic mountains of Hawaii. The processing of coffee lies on the "Continuous Process" of the types of continuum processes. This is where a basic material - coffee …

…time compared to the Kono center which only roasts 30lbs at a time. By doing so and having the expertise that is required so closely available, they are able to control quality issues and ramp-up speed and delivery keeping the total cost down. Due to limited machine capacity, the 30 pounds per roasting period is their effective capacity because even under ideal conditions, it can still only realistically accommodate this amount of weight per roasting cycle.
