Talk:Peaberry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Some references
Not sure how to work these in...I arrived here while resolving some {{citationneeded}} in Coffee:
Caracoli: coffee bean with an almost ovoid shape because of the development of a single seed in the fruit.
- [2] seems a bit bloggy, but at least good for secondary support:
Peaberry – Also known as a caracoli bean, it is very small at about half the average bean size, which forms around 5% of the coffee crop. While described as being formed when only one seed instead of two forms in the cherry, it gives the appearance of a rounder, more curled up type of standard bean. Because of its size, some consider that the bean is more concentrated. Certainly, peaberry is high in caffeine, with 12% more than the arabica average. It is not a grade of bean but a different type, so comes in grades typical of standard coffee. Peaberry requires less roasting so some experimentation is needed. Double the amount of grounds is needed per cup, so use a little more water to cope with the extra absorption.

This article contains numerous second-person addresses ("you," etc.) in the "Roasting" section that should be reworded or removed entirely.
