About Coffee bean

A coffee bean is the seed of a coffee fruit, usually processed, dried, and roasted before use. Green, unroasted beans are firm and pale; roasting turns them brown and produces a brittle, aromatic seed with a characteristic roasted, bitter flavour.

Beans are sold whole or ground and are used to prepare brewed coffee; they may also be processed into soluble coffee. Coffee flavour and texture in the cup vary with the bean, roast, grind, and brewing method. The name refers to the seed, not the brewed drink.
