    Now is it just the coffee bean or espresso bean too, or do they bunch both into coffee?

    I won’t be surprised to find out everything we eat to have PFAS in them.

      What’s the difference between a coffee bean and an espresso bean? I was under the impression that espresso is just a way to brew coffee beans.

        There are two primary varieties of beans, arabica beans and robusta. An expresso bean (arabica) is generally darker (roasted longer) with more visible oil.

            People didn’t like my answer, so maybe this site would better explain:

            Nevertheless, when you compare espresso beans vs. regular coffee beans, you’ll notice the former is always dark roasted and oily. This is not to say that regular coffee beans cannot be dark and oily. However, they can feature other characteristics as well, while for espresso beans, these qualities are non-negotiable.

      Pretty sure PFAs are in rainwater and nearly every surface level water source or unconfined aquifer. So yeah nearly everything gets exposed to them.
