I love how photos of actual people were shown in the end. It is sad that this human working process could be dehumanizing for many people in the very beginning of the chain. Many things we consume is due to the hard work of people who needs to do this just for mere surviving. And I don't think we have a practical solution that could solve it overnight. But the fact is that we need a solution to change the way we produce and consume food and other goods. Coffee can be considered a symbol here on Brazil. At least it was the basis of our economy in the last centuries. A cup of coffee is a tradition in our homes.
Well the problem is that coffee farming still cannot be automated and those coffee companies have 2 options: 1. Reduce production efficiency and risk the coffee price sky rocketed and the market collapsing, or 2. They make people work tirelessly for less than minimum wages, which they chose the latter
@@robbieaulia6462 Denaturalization- it's been the solution for millennia. Our elevated minds cannot comprehend a world without, when 200 years ago, the layman was deprived of coffee consumption. Ecologically, the true cost of this commodity is astronomical. We live in an artificial economy, unnaturally consuming goods produced half a world away. BTW, I believe some of these workers are paid $2/day or less. Why does the developing world bear the brunt of the price of our standard of living?
They would most likely be considered process engineers who studied mechanical, chemical, or process engineering (depending on the university), and specialized their career around food processes such as coffee. Referring to them as coffee engineers is definitely a simplification!

Caffeine is a drug, one of the few that not only makes you addicted, but also physically dependent. You might want to do a withdrawal from the drug. The first weeks will be really difficult (headaches, sleep issues and so on) because your body is dependent, but later on you should feel better and sleep better, granted you have a regular sleep cycle.
I live in a “coffee town” in Brazil and this video hits me right in the heart. I don’t think people realize how much hard work this farmers endure. But at least here, I must say they are well paid. It’s a crop that can sustain a family even with farms not that big.
I am Colombian and It is very nice to watch a video like this on youtube about my country . We have struggled about the stigma of narcotrafic for so many years but I am glad to see our recognition for our excellent product that we can share all over the world.
Wow! 😃👍 Thank you very much for this recognition to coffee growers and all the people involved in this process! As a coffee lover, I find this moving! It's a pity many of them are abused, even in the same countries where coffee is a commodity. Hope more awareness and prompt action leads to more respect and appreciation for coffee growers soon! ¡Saludos desde Colombia! 🇨🇴
It's difficult to do that considering the increasing climate change Making the farmers going up higher altitudes and such for better coffee producing/tasting coffee. If they increase the pay, then the cost of coffee will increase for the buyers.
@@conejitorosada2326 Yea, why should someone get cheaper coffee at the cost of someones salary? People have been drinking coffee for ages, it's just in modern times it's hurting people that we can't really see, at least much more so than what it was before. Our clothes, groceries and electronics need to be way more expensive.
I'm glad I live in a country that has different kinds of coffee in each province. Some small coffee companies employ local neighbours to work with them. I buy locally-produced coffee and I buy from small sellers to support more local businesses. For me, drinking coffee isn't only about enjoying the smell and how the drink itself can help fix my mood, but also how I support local businesses that support providing my favourite morning drink.
This is so true!!! Here in my small city a lot of coffe shops have already popping up serving coffe sourced from local farmers. I already ditched instant coffees in favor of a brewed coffee. Might be an expensive switch but I find the price much more justifiable towards the people who made it.
What I find amazing is: 1. So many places sell both cups of brewed coffee, and ground/roasted coffee. You can go into any grocery/Walmart/Target and purchase different brands and types of coffee. (We take this for granted...) 2. So many things have to happen to get that coffee to you. It has to be grown, harvested, dried, tested, packaged to be imported, shipped (cargo boat and truck), roasted, repackaged for retail, then finally brewed at home.
@@georgenelson811 Unless you expect everyone to track the production line every step for every thing they buy then things like fair trade are the best you can do
@@georgenelson811 Fair Trade is definitely better than non-FairTrade. Of course it does not guarantee that everybody involved is treated well but it is better than not doing anything at all. Another Thing you can do is buying organic. This ensures or at least makes it more likely that the people working in the fields are not exposed to harsh chemicals that can shorten their life. In my country you can buy a pack (400g/ 1.2lbs or so) of the cheapest ground, fair trade coffee for five euros. Idk about beans bc I dont use them. But the price is definitely comparable to other brands that have none of these standards in place. Do some research and find the coffee that is best for you and know that fair products don't have to cost a ton more.
Fair trade is better than nothing. But try buying coffee from the Zapatistas. The coffee is good and the only one you can be sure isn't produced under horrible conditions. Also you don't support mayor firms with buying it but small businesses.
I grew up in a mountainside area where coffee grew abundantly. I remember my childhood full of the sweet scent of flowering coffee trees permeating the morning fog. Summers are spent helping the elders to pick up coffee cherries and drying them out in the sun on my grandma's front porch. At night time, coffee beans are packed in a burlap sack, then laid out under the sun to dry again the next day. The process continues for weeks until all coffee beans are fully dried. In a good season, we can sell as much as 500 kilos of beans. We sell a majority of the coffee beans to a wholesaler, then keep some for personal consumption. We keep only about 10 kilos for personal consumption. My grandma would roast the beans, distribute them to each family, then we'll use our own beans for daily consumption.
I like what you wrote about "the sweet scent of flowering coffee trees permeating the morning fog" in particular, I have similar childhood memories, not with coffee tree flowers but a type of acacia trees which develop small clusters of little white deity flowers, I remember vividly, in the early spring mornings on our way walking to school, everything was a kind of veiled by the morning fog, I could smell the cool air infused with this sweet scent from the acacia flowers, the dew drops lingering on the green leaves, it's such nostalgia...I've not seen a coffee tree in person and I hope that one day when I have the opportunity to travel again I'd love to smell the coffee tree flower!
Legend has it that 9th-century goat herders noticed the effect caffeine had on their goats, who appeared to "dance" after eating the fruit of the Coffea plant. A local monk then made a drink with the produce and found that it kept him awake at night, thus the original cup of coffee was born.
Honestly every little thing you see and enjoy (especially in first world countries) each have their early life stories and those in it aren’t all treated fairly or paid handsomely. Even the roads you see, the bridges you pass without appreciating, the water you consume straight out of the faucets.. have tons and thousands of workers and professionals behind the scene. These people serve as civil workers, keeping the society safe, yet, they are extremely under-appreciated. Speaking from personal experience, yes I wish we all appreciate what we are offered a little more and stop taking everything for granted
As a Colombian, i really value the effort of this video to spread awereness onthe poor conditions of workers. Is a really sad story, and because of the pandemic is even worse.
The 2nd best cup of coffee I ever had was at the Prolific Oven in Palo Alto, CA circa 1991, alongside a slice of "Death by Chocolate" triple chocolate cake, having a discussion about Giant Steps with my friend. Best cup ever: 5am Christmas morning, at a small wooden table, sitting quietly with my Dad a few years before he passed away, us just watching the snow.
I am currently drinking coffee for breakfast while watching this. I remember telling people coffee is like a hug I never thought I'd need every morning (or every other day), and it honestly makes me feel safe. All of you makes this possible, I thank all of you for that. 💛☕
I don't drink more than a few cups of coffee per year, while I drink around 4 cups of tea per day. not that I prefer tea but mainly because in our household it's always ready to be poured. looking forward to a video about tea with a quote from Captain Picard!
A bad day with a coffee is better than a good without it.. Imagine having A nice cup of coffee while reading a book while laying on our couch Well that's sounds heaven
Ted ed is the best educational channel. They make the topic really interesting. Ted ed answers the exact questions that pop up in our mind.Thank you to everyone who worked to make this video. Thank you Ted ed for educating us about the best things and in the best way.
I am a great coffee lover, without coffee I can't imagine I can start my day . So it was important for me to be informed about my favourite drink. I've never really thought about which way the coffee beans go before they get into the cup. Thank Ted-ed for bringing attention to such things. It's a really sad story about low wages of workers and it is unlikely that we will find a solution to it. I very appreciate all the workers behind this process and I am very sorry that nothing can be done.
Beautiful. Here in Guatemala we have one of the best coffees in the World. I hope one Day people come to visit us and know how people work for a miserable wage for this incredible product.
Have seen it myself and experience it directly in the remote area of Indonesia. Manufacturing coffee from how we grow it, plant it, make it all by hands and traditional trajectories. No machine involved and it was dope.
@@qntoan Well, I guess coffee producing countries are an exception. You can always get fresher, nicer coffee for cheaper even in local cafe's because it is so abundantly available. But generally Starbucks is more the average than the bottom of the barrel. It's just hated upon because it's become an iconic brand, and many people that don't know good coffee think of it as being the gold standard thanks to good branding and marketing.
HI TED-ED! 👋🏻 Just want you to know that I appreciate you guys so much. You have taught me more than school ever did. And for that I'm forever grateful. ❤️
The problem is that no one cares if it's you who are commenting or not. Just enjoy the content while you can Edit : sorry if this is harsh to u, but it's the reality, and it's healthy to acknowledge it
I could not agree more. My home town is in Empat Lawang of South Sumatera, Indonesia which is one of the best coffee producer/farmer. But, the condition of farmers has not changed, they are still struggling and poor..
Many Brazilians and other Latinos have told me that the American coffee is horrible, because it's really "weak". But I have never been to the US nor have I drank American coffee, so, people from Latin America who live/have been to US, what is it like?
I’m from the US and yeah, the cheaper coffee like Folgers can taste like water. You can get high quality coffee that’s probably more comparable to what you’re used to but it’s much more expensive so people looking for a daily caffeine fix over flavor (most people) will opt for the cheap stuff hence the prevalence of weak coffee in the US.
Thank you to all the wonderful people who manufacture coffee. I can say I enjoy it too much as it is part of my daily regimen and I feel like I can't make it through one day without it.
I actually live in a town close to Pitalito, my mother tells me stories about how her grandfather used to grow coffee in their farm and how it tasted so absolutely sweet that you wouldn't even consider adding sugar to it. Greetings from Colombia :)
This is a cute video... I like it. The coffee I drink is made by my sister's husband, the beans are bought from a local farm from Quillabamba. Everybody counts, thank you!.

The problem of being early : u can't think of anything funny
Problem of being late : u don't get anything to comment, everyone already does
😭😭😭😭
why is that even important?
The problem is that no one cares if it's you who are commenting or not.
Just enjoy the content while you can
Edit : sorry if this is harsh to u, but it's the reality, and it's healthy to acknowledge it
Thank you Ted. That was so important for us to be informed about our coffee and choices. 🙏☺️

This is the best channel ever! I lear more here than I do at school, plus I can retain the information

TED ED: So how many people does making coffee takes?
I used to eat coffee berries when I was a kid while playing in the forest
THANK YOU SO MUCH all the farmers and the workers for working day and night.I am sure I am going to thank you each time I pick a cup to sip coffee ☕️
3:14 Ah, I see what you did the text. Clever.
The quote at the start was INDEED the most inspirational one I have seen on Ted-Ed
Holding a snazzy Asian tea cup,
Personally I prefer tea, however this coffe making process is very interesting.
Sips tea.
I could not agree more. My home town is in Empat Lawang of South Sumatera, Indonesia which is one of the best coffee producer/farmer. But, the condition of farmers has not changed, they are still struggling and poor..
Many Brazilians and other Latinos have told me that the American coffee is horrible, because it's really "weak". But I have never been to the US nor have I drank American coffee, so, people from Latin America who live/have been to US, what is it like?
You're latino bro. Stop being clown.
@@theobserver7217 And when did I say the opposite? Learn to read before you criticize.
I’m from the US and yeah, the cheaper coffee like Folgers can taste like water. You can get high quality coffee that’s probably more comparable to what you’re used to but it’s much more expensive so people looking for a daily caffeine fix over flavor (most people) will opt for the cheap stuff hence the prevalence of weak coffee in the US.
Can we appreciate how Ted-ed videos use the metric system?
we did "dry fermentation" and "wet fermentation" of coffee in high school geography haha
Honestly would've enjoyed that lesson

Thank you to all the wonderful people who manufacture coffee. I can say I enjoy it too much as it is part of my daily regimen and I feel like I can't make it through one day without it.
anyone else drinking coffee while watching??
Thank you every one of you who made this beautiful cup of South Indian filter coffee reach my table!!!
We should just rename "The Water Cycle" to "The System that makes Coffee Water"
I actually live in a town close to Pitalito, my mother tells me stories about how her grandfather used to grow coffee in their farm and how it tasted so absolutely sweet that you wouldn't even consider adding sugar to it. Greetings from Colombia :)
Really?
Coffee? Not my cup of tea, tbh.

Coffee isn't the drug, caffeine is

Such an information I've learnt 🤔I'm coffee "maniac" and I have never thought about the process to make a cup of coffee. Turns out it takes a lot of resources both human and machines. You've just broaden my mind a lot ! Thanks !
