About how much coffee can one person pick in a typical day?
A good coffee picker can pick about 100 pounds of coffee cherry in one day. A highly skilled picker may be able to pick 400 pounds in one day during a bountiful season. There have been accounts of truly expert pickers harvesting as much as 1,200 pounds in just one day, bean by bean! These expert pickers are so smooth and consistent that the constant falling of the berries into their buckets is said to resemble the sounds of the Kona rain.
