Did you know that a coffee bean is not a bean? They are called beans as they look similar to them. So, if your coffee bean is not a legume, what is it? Your freshly brewed coffee is made from coffee seeds that come from the fruit known as a coffee cherry. But the question is, do you know where the coffee beans that make your morning brew came from?
We have all seen the mad scientist-esque contraption in your local coffee shop, the one that releases a drip of water every two minutes and usually has a big DO NOT TOUCH sign in front of it.
