According to Wikipedia, a coffee bean is the seed of the coffeeplant(the pit inside the red or purple fruit). The fruits, coffee cherries or coffee berries, most commonly contain two stones with their flat sides together. Coffee beans consist mostly of endosperm that contains 0.8 ~ 2.5% caffeine, which is one of the main reasons the plants are cultivated.
There are many types of coffee beans. Species of coffee plant include Coffea arabica, Coffea benghalensis, Coffea canephora, Coffea congensis, Coffea excelsa, Coffea gallienii, Coffea bonnieri, Coffea mogeneti, Coffea liberica, and Coffea stenophylla. The seeds of different species produce coffee with slightly different characteristics.
Different coffee beans will provide different flavors. Maybe it is slightly different but it is quite different to a professional of tasting coffee. I hope I will be the person like that someday. XD
I hope this will help you to know more about coffee. : )
