Let us know about coffee

It is a brewed beverage made from roasted coffee beans and the seeds of berries from the coffea genus of flowering plants. The seeds of the coffee fruit are separated to produce a stable, raw product: unroasted green coffee. The seeds are then roasted, resulting in a consumable product: roasted coffee, which is ground into fine particles that are typically steeped in hot water before being filtered out, yielding a cup of coffee.
