interest is also more evenly distributed than plastic
sunglasses.
Types of wood usually used for wooden
sunglasses are teak, rosewood, and ebony. It is
because those woods are hard but still have sufficient
elasticity for bending feature needed for sunglasses.
There is another type of wood that is hard and elastic
enough which is coffee wood.
It is noted that Indonesia is the fourth largest
coffee producer in the world after Brazil, Vietnam,
and Colombia. According to statistics from the
Directorate General of Plantation of Indonesia
(2017), in 2017 Indonesia was able to produce
637,539 tons of coffee beans at 1,227,787 hectares of
land. The land area increases when compared to the
previous year which was 1,228,512 Ha. This proves
that Indonesia has very large coffee land and
continues to increase every year. [2] According to the
Plantation Office of East Java Province (2017), most
of the coffee production in East Java is Robusta
coffee. The area of robusta coffee fields in East Java
in 2017 is 85,075 hectares with a production of
51,107 tons. The calculation is far more than Arabica
coffee which in 2017 in East Java there was only
21,380 Ha of coffee land with a production of 16,507
tons.
East Java has a coffee plantation area of 85,075 ha
in 2017 (Statistics of Agriculture Office of Indonesia,
2017). One hectare on average consists of 1,200
coffee trees, so in East Java, there are at least 102
million coffee trees. From the above calculations, it
can be concluded that the availability of wood coffee
in East Java is very abundant at 102 million coffee
trees
East Java is noted to have extensive coffee
plantation land owned both government and private
(Arianto, 2017). The abundance of this coffee
plantation is not yet optimally utilized, especially the
wood. So far, the utilization of coffee wood is only
for drum sticks, ashtrays, prayer beads, machetes, and
furniture. These products use sapwood, while coffee
wood that has been cut down for a long time and
already being old and dry, tends not to be utilized.
Therefore, this old and dry coffee wood has only been
used as firewood.
The small size of coffee wood and its irregular
stems make coffee wood less attractive to the people
of East Java. Wood coffee is mostly just a substitute
for coffee bean production. That is coffee wood in
East Java is only used as firewood that has lack of
economic value.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Classification of Robusta Coffee
(Coffea Canephora)
Robusta coffee plants have better adaptations
compared to arabica type coffee. The area of robusta
coffee plantations in Indonesia is relatively extensive.
Because the type of Robusta coffee can grow at a
lower altitude than the location of Arabica
plantations. The original Robusta coffee is almost
gone. Currently, several types of Robusta have been
mixed into clones or hybrids, such as BP 39, BP 42,
SA 13, SA 34, and SA 56 clones. Robusta coffee
production, in general, can reach 800-2,000
kg/hectare/ year (Directorate General Plantation of
Indonesia, 2002).
Based on taxonomy, the scientific classification
of the robusta coffee plant (Coffea canephora) is
included in:
Kingdom : Plantea
Division : Magnoliophyta
Sub Kingdom : Tracheobionta
Superdivision : Spermatophyta
Class : Magnoliopsida
Subclass : Asteridae
Orde : Rubiales
Family : Rubiaceae
Genus : Coffea
Species : Coffea Robusta
2.2 Productive and Moisture Content
of Robusta Coffee
The sapwood of coffee wood has a high water content
so the coffee wood must be dried first to reach the
desired moisture content. Or we can also use
hardwood, the old and dry one. Coffee wood water
content can be known as (Risky, 2015).
