Self-induced anaerobic fermentation (SIAF) of coffee
SIAF is a wet-process coffee fermentation done in a closed tank with an airlock, so the CO₂ made by the beans' own microbes pushes out the air. In a Brazilian study, 175 kg of pulped arabica beans in 30 L of water were fermented for 24, 48 or 72 hours while the pH fell from 5.8 to 4.4, then washed and dried to about 12 % moisture. All lots scored 84 or more as specialty coffee.

At a glance
SIAF is a wet-process coffee fermentation done in a closed tank with an airlock, so the CO₂ made by the beans' own microbes pushes out the air. In a Brazilian study, 175 kg of pulped arabica beans in 30 L of water were fermented for 24, 48 or 72 hours while the pH fell from 5.8 to 4.4, then washed and dried to about 12 % moisture. All lots scored 84 or more as specialty coffee. Made in 4 steps over 24 h – 3 days. The longest step, seal in a tank with an airlock, takes 24 h – 3 days (da Silva Vale A 2022). Lactobacillaceae (mainly Lactobacillus), about 20 % of bacterial reads in all layers by 72 h and Leuconostoc do most of the fermenting.
The standard wet-process ferment in a closed tank with an airlock instead of an open tank, so the ferment runs without air. The microbes differ from open-tank ferments, with many enterobacteria and moulds and few lactic bacteria and yeasts.
Cup score
All beverages from 24, 48 and 72 h fermentations scored 84 or more and were classed as specialty coffee
Full-washed process
FAO's Lao manual lets the mucilage ferment over one to two days before washing; FAO's Kenya notes give 1 to 4 days depending on conditions
Carbonic macerationCO₂ is added from outside rather than made by the beans' own microbes; Vale et al. cite a 2022 study of carbonic maceration of Coffea canephora var. Conilon.
Safety
Over-fermentation, mould, taints and odours spoil coffee quality, and the loss cannot be undone (FAO Lao manual). Mould risk during drying is covered in the coffee wet process entry.
Vale et al. (2022) describe SIAF as a recently proposed low-cost method for coffee growers. They note that stirred-tank reactors with starter cultures raised cup scores by about 8 points but need an investment of about USD 1.4 million, which limits their use by small producers.
