    Heard whispers about peaberry coffee beans? These tiny, round mutants—born solo inside a coffee fruit—are a quirky twist on your usual brew. But are they a flavor game-changer or just a gimmick? Let’s unpack for beginners!

    ➡️ What’s peaberry: Unlike typical coffee fruits with two flat beans, peaberries form one round seed. Both Arabica and Robusta can produce them—no variety exclusivity here.
    💡 Flavor debate: Some swear peaberries taste richer, claiming the solo bean soaks up more nutrients. Others call it a flaw to toss out. Truth? It depends on the roast and your palate.
    📈 Why it matters: Peaberries are sieved separately for even roasting, as their shape affects heat transfer. They’re often pricier, so try a small batch before splurging.

    Curious? Hunt for peaberry at a local roaster and compare it to regular beans. Did you notice a flavor pop, or was it just hype? What’s your take on these oddball beans? Let’s hear it!
