Cocoa Bean Dryer and Roaster
Members: Kevin Keene, Blake Berger, Sam McDermott, Biniam Gared and Caroline foody
Cameroon is the 4th largest producer of cocoa beans. The harvest is during the rainy season. Drying and roasting the beans is typically done with wood fires making the resultant cocoa taste somewhat smoky. This project is to develop a drying and roasting system that will not result in smoky flavored cocoa.
