Coffee cherry grading technology is currently advanced, but it is necessary to adjust the sorting method and factors such as the condition of the coffee plantation location which has a limited water source to process wet processing such as semi-wash and full-wash. This study is an innovation of coffee cherry grading machines with semi-wash and full-wash methods that focuses on technology that can be applied to coffee plantation environments that have limited water sources so that the quality of water filtration, water quantity, and quality of coffee beans produced by this innovation are observed. The method used is to design and then measure the performance of the machine including filtration performance, the quantity of soaking media, and the quality of the coffee beans produced. The results of this innovation were successfully carried out by the application of effective water filtration, namely during the semi-wash process, the turbidity value in the Main Tube was 10.42 NTU and the Water Storage was 5.32 NTU. In the full wash process, the turbidity value at the Main Tube is 15.65 NTU and Water Storage is 7.70 NTU. This machine has a capacity of 7 kg of coffee with a volume of 306.79 liters of water required during the process. The quality of the green beans produced following SNI 01-2907-2008 and the visualization of coffee bean results according to the semi-wash green bean standard, which is bluish-green, and the full-wash result looks yellowish-green.
