Freeze coffee beans Even those who were never fans of coffee, once in their lives have seen up close how a coffee bean looks like. Coffee beans are seeds of the Coffea plant and they are those who we have to thank, for one of the most famous beverages, which you probably guessed already…. coffee! A coffee bean’s natural appearance dramatically differs from what you usually see in advertisements or if you buy your own coffee beans. However, there are different varieties of coffee and their coffee beans differ from one to another. Such differences are flavor, size disease resistance. Is a coffee bean truly a bean? The short answer is No. When you are looking at it you could confuse it for a bean, but it is a seed. Coffee beans are located inside different colors of coffee cherries and grow next to waxy leaves on the branch of the trees. The anatomy of the coffee cherry There different levels of anatomy when it comes to the coffee cherry: •Exocarp, the skin of the coffee cherry •Mesocarp, also known as the pulp •Mucilage, the inner layer of the mesocarp •A layer of pectin, underneath the mucilage All of the said layers contain sugar and are what makes the fermentation process so special. After all these layers we finally arrive at the coffee beans that we all know and love, located at the endosperm of the coffee cherry, which is after the other said layers. Looking at the endosperm more often than not, you can see two beans covered by the silverskin (a thin epidermis) and parchment (the endocarp) Those responsible for the production pick the coffee cherries at the right level of ripeness, to maximize the flavor of the coffee bean and to highlight its aroma. What makes the coffee bean so spectacular is also that it has a lifespan of 50 to 70 years and is the largest commodity after oil!
