Coffee is a kind of fruit, and the outer layer of coffee fruit has pulp (pectin layer), and the middle is usually composed of two seeds facing each other (just like the fruit we usually eat). The plane of the two seeds faces inward, and the round face faces the outer pulp. The round bean is a hereditary malformation. there is only one seed instead of two seeds in the fruit, which has no plane and has round faces on both sides.
