The method of roasting coffee beans was invented by the Arabs of Yemen, who then spread the method to Egypt and Turkey, and finally worldwide. This paper provides a detailed understanding of coffee beans from a chemical perspective, including discussions on identification of two coffee bean varieties—Arabica and Robusta, the chemical process of coffee roasting, and the pore structure of coffee beans.
