Overview¶
The Q Processing Grader certification is administered by the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) and is aimed at coffee producers and processors seeking to understand and improve their post-harvest processing in relation to quality outcomes. It covers the relationship between processing decisions — fermentation duration, drying method, and moisture management — and cup quality, equipping producers to make quality-driven processing choices. The certification bridges the gap between on-farm practice and the cupping table, giving producers the tools to identify and correct quality defects introduced during processing.
