Barley (or rye, com or wheat) coffee is obtained by roasting the cleaned cereal grains after steeping or steaming. The products contain up to 12% moisture and have about 4% ash.

In field isolates of C. purpurea, the alkaloids are only produced inplanta, in sclerotial tissue. In the past, contamination of cereals with sclerotia has led to severe disease symptoms in humans, known as St. Anthony s fire in the Middle Ages. In modern mills, cereals are mechanically cleaned from seclerotia, which due to a growing number of grain-sized sclerotia gives no complete protection. Contamination of flour with ergot alkaloids is still a problem, and has even increased in the last years, e.g., due to C. purpurea-susceptible new hybrid rye varieties. 

During the commercial preparation of oatmeal for human consumption, a number of by-products are obtained that are available for animal feeding. When the oats are received at the mill they contain a number of foreign grains, mainly other cereals and weed seeds, which are removed as cockle before processing.The cleaned oats are then stabilised by steaming to inactivate the enzyme lipase, which is located almost entirely in the pericarp of the kernel. After stabilisation, the oats are kiln dried before passing on to the huller, which removes the husks. The kernels are then brushed or scoured to detach the fine hairs that cover much of their surface.
