[[Coffee]] is a [[Drip brew|brewed]] drink prepared from the roasted seeds of several species of an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]] of the [[genus]] ''[[Coffea]]''. The two most common sources of coffee beans are the highly regarded ''[[Coffea arabica]]'', and the "robusta" form of the hardier ''[[Coffea canephora]]''. Coffee plants are cultivated in [[List of countries by coffee production|more than 70 countries]]. Once ripe, coffee [[epigynous berries|"berries"]] are picked, processed, and dried to yield the seeds inside. The seeds are then roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor, before being ground and brewed to create coffee.
