Find Out More About Coffee Beans

Coffee beans are so delicious when they are freshly roasted to create a cup of Joe, but how much do you know about their preparation process?

Coffee beans are not actually beans, but they are seeds grown within cherries from a coffee tree. Normally, you will find two coffee beans with a cherry, and if only one coffee bean grows with the cherry, it is called peaberry coffee. This is the type of coffee that is in demand and seen as gourmet.

The caffeine content of coffee is found in the endosperm of the seed, and it ranges from .8% to 2.5% in the caffeine content. The level of caffeine within the coffee beans provides different characteristics of flavor, which also directly depends upon the region that they are cultivated in.

The bottom line is that coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world next to oil, and it is obvious why!
