Abstract

Robusta coffee is a leading commodity of Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra, yet the quality of coffee beans produced by farmers remains low due to harvesting and postharvest handling practices that do not yet meet standards. This community service activity aimed to improve farmers' knowledge of coffee bean quality through Bean to Cup training conducted on 5-7 July 2026 in Nagari Simpang Utara, Simpang Alahan Mati District. The implementation methods included lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, discussion, and evaluation using a questionnaire administered to seven participants across eight knowledge indicators. Data were analyzed descriptively based on the percentage of correct answers. The evaluation results showed that participants' knowledge level reached 92.86% (52 of 56 correct answers), classified as excellent. All participants understood the importance of selective harvesting, fruit ripeness, fermentation, and drying before storage, while knowledge of green bean moisture content before storage still needed strengthening (71.4%). The training proved effective in improving farmers' knowledge and has the potential to support improvements in the quality, added value, and competitiveness of robusta coffee in Nagari Simpang Utara
