Best Answer

The seed or coffee "bean" may be selectively harvested by hand, in which only the ripest coffee cherries are relieved of their seeds, or it may be "strip harvested," in which the beans are harvested indiscriminately when most are ripe. Strip harvesting can be accomplished by hand or machine.

How much coffee beans are needed for one pound?

How many beans are in one pound of whole bean coffee?The short answer:3250 whole beans when taken together weigh one pound.The long answer:On average 3250 whole coffee beans will weigh 16 ounces or one pound.
