Qianjie-Coffee male and female beans

Coffee beans

It takes about five years for coffee to be cultivated and mass-produced. In this process, flowering, fruiting, picking, processing, storage, sales and other steps, until we receive the end market coffee raw beans. Because of its similar appearance, coffee is also called coffee cherry. If you remove the outer skin and flesh, you can see two seeds. These are our common coffee beans. Therefore, usually a normal growth of coffee cherry will have two coffee beans, commonly known as flat beans, this is known as "mother beans".

Male bean

Another situation is that there is only one seed in this coffee cherry, commonly known as peaberry, and related people call it "public bean".

Cause of formation

During the growth process, one seed stops growing and the other fills the entire inner space of the coffee cherry. It itself does not belong to defective beans, and it is thought that the quality will be better than flat beans, this is only slightly special appearance, strictly speaking, it is an underdeveloped single bean, at most, it can account for about 10-20% of the total output.

Of all the flat beans and round beans I have encountered, round beans do not perform better than flat beans because of their fuller meat, without exception. (in fact, the meat is fuller and makes it harder to bake.)

I will not speculate on the motives behind the promotion of the concept of "male and female", but I hope you can understand after reading this article: whether coffee tastes good or not has little to do with size and shape, so labels such as strong soybeans, AA+ beans, and extremely hard beans cannot be indicators of coffee taste. Only your sense of smell and taste can judge whether the coffee you buy is worth it. As for which of the two kinds of coffee beans tastes better, they are male beans in theory, because they absorb more nutrients, but in practice, there is not much research. Therefore, except as a specialty in tourist areas, the coffee industry will place less emphasis on this concept.
