Why use the Coffee separation modes? 

This functionality enables you to partition the delivered coffee into distinct segments. It allows for the division of a single coffee delivery into separate components based on specific quality criteria.

For instance, if your wet mill employs a mechanical separator, it can effectively distinguish between floaters and unripe cherries from the ripe cherries. This separation allows for each category to be monitored individually through batch tracking.

1. Log in to the online platform C-sar.
