This study aims to make a design to reduce the sap content of coffee beans after stripping, so that the sun drying process does not require a long time. It is hoped that this machine can really work in accordance with the hopes and desires of the farmers, as well as to increase higher prices, which include analyzing problems, conceptualizing design, making function block schemes, calculating loads, selecting materials, until getting a working drawing. The design method used in the sap content reduction machine and the method is called the French design method. This tool is a machine with dimensions of length, width and height, respectively 1120 x 395 x 445 mm.
