Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.5

The response is strongest in its complete, chronological coverage of the production sequence and its clear overview from bean picking to packaging. The main limitation is factual precision: roasting is incorrectly described as occurring in a vacuum, and grinding the frozen liquid is misrepresented as forming a liquid. Prioritise checking the purpose and result of each illustrated stage while retaining the effective step-by-step organisation.
