machines in loads of 280 kg. for 10 to 20 minutes.
Cooling A
Once the beans are in their optimum roasting point, they are quickly
cooled with water sprayed in the same recipient where it was roasted.
Sugar coating process

When the sugar becomes a thick dark liquid, the semiroasted coffee
beans are added until they get the characteristic shine and color
of sugar coated coffee beans.
Cooling B

beans, it is necessary to cool them 15 to 20 minutes in a rotating
air cooler.
