Here are is a fact that you might not have known about coffee to consider as you enjoy your coffee and flapjack this morning. Most of the world’s coffee is still picked by hand, one bean at a time. An experienced coffee picker can pick about 7 baskets of coffee beans a day, each weighing 50-100 kg. The picker will be paid between $2 and $10 per basket of coffee cherries. Once the coffee cherries are dried and roasted, the coffee beans from that basket will sell for about $110.
