[A.] Brewing
[B.] Roasting
[C.] Grinding
[D.] Blending
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. D, B, C, A
• B. D, C, B, A
• C. B, A, D, C
• D. B, D, C, A

Hint:

Think of making coffee at home. You start with roasted beans, grind them, and then brew them. Blending is the commercial step that usually happens after roasting to create a specific product.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Analyze the logica
l flow of coffee preparation from raw bean to cup. 1. (B) Roasting: This is the first major step. Green coffee beans are heated to develop their characteristic aroma and flavor.
2. (D) Blending: After roasting, beans from different origins or with different roast profiles are often blended to create a balanced and consistent flavor profile. (Blending can sometimes occur before roasting, but post-roast blending is very common for specialty coffees).
3. (C) Grinding: The roasted, blended beans must be ground into smaller particles to increase the surface area for extraction. This is done shortly before brewing for optimal freshness.
4. (A) Brewing: This is the final step where hot water is used to extract the soluble flavors from the ground coffee to create the beverage.
The correct sequence is Roasting \(\rightarrow\) Blending \(\rightarrow\) Grinding \(\rightarrow\) Brewing, which corresponds to B, D, C, A.
