Hello,
I’m currently writing a paper for my Botany and Chemistry class about the coffee plant and its beans, and I’m having some trouble with the scientific details. The book I’m reading goes into the botany of the coffee plant, the microscopy of the coffee fruit, and the chemistry of the coffee bean. I’m struggling to connect how these scientific elements work together to produce the final product. Can anyone explain how the plant’s biology affects the flavor and qualities of the coffee bean, and how the chemical processes in the bean impact the drink? I would greatly appreciate any help or resources!
