Do link acima:

"O café, após a secagem, é armazenado em coco, em tulhas de madeira ou de alvenaria, para que haja uma estabilizacao interna, homogeneizacao de umidade e uma espera para beneficiamento e comercializacao."

"Coffee, after drying, is stored without hulling (dry cherry), in wood or bricklaying cellars in order to have an inner stabilization, moisture homogenization and a delay for hulling and commercialization."

Explanation:
Suggestion:

Não achei café em coco, mas se você já viu o fruto, ele se parece com a cereja :)

no Houaiss:
Cereja: Regionalismo: São Paulo.
grão de café com a casca, antes da secagem

Random House:
cof·fee n.
1. a beverage consisting of a decoction or infusion of the *roasted ground or crushed seeds (coffee beans)* of the **two-seeded fruit (coffee berry) ** of certain coffee trees.
2. the seeds or fruit themselves.
