Abstract: An understanding the characteristics of raw materials is important for the product development process. The characteristics and methods of processing of a coffee bean will affect its final quality and the taste of its brewed coffee. In Kulon-Progo Region, the coffee quality profile has not been identified clearly. Therefore, this research was conducted to identify the quality profile of coffee that grows in the Menoreh, Kulon Progo region so that it can be used as a guideline for further product development. Identification is carried out by testing the physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters and the taste of coffee grown in the Menoreh region, Kulon Progo.
