You may have to wait awhile. These coffee beans need to ripen, which can take from 5 to 7 months, then be picked, processed and dried. Finally the beans are roasted, ground and brewed.
Lots of work for a measly cuppa joe.
Beatiful photo, Barbara! Very nice DOF throughout and a great composition. That lone red berry in the back really draws your eye right in!

I don’t think I can wait that long for coffee, but the pix has motivated me to brew some of their cousins for my morning brew.
. P.S. Where’s the snow?

I’ve always wondered about that first person to make a cup of coffee. Look at the process — pick ripe beans, roast them, grind them, and then brew. Who would look at those beans and think to do all that??
Someone with a great imagination, maybe.
Lovely shot, Barbara. The colors are wonderful.

Beautiful shot! Now I’ll think of that every morning with my daily cup!

Great picture, it may be a lot of work but it is worth it. I have a coffee tree growing in my house. I hope to have cherries on it someday but it may take 3 years.

I didn’t know coffee beans were so red.
The shot is tasty, even if the object wouldn’t be.
