Less sections

In an effort to conform to CZ style, I've removed a section header. I'm now a firm believer that entries should be more or less a narrative, forcing the reader to read the entire article than being able to pick and choose their content.

Also, I believe there's a grinding scale that is an actual measurement of grain/particle; I'll find it and add it as I don't believe many people are familiar with "medium".--Robert W King 09:05, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

Are there any references to the statement that there are 6000 coffae species? It seems to me a rather large number. If it is true it should be referenced, because it sounds a bit unbelievable, at least to me Jasper Wubs 10:32, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

Here's the ITIS Report for Genus "Coffea", http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=35189. Note that there are 6 Direct Children Species of the Genus. --Robert W King 10:47, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

Okay, so there is one genus with six species, how do you then arrive at 500 genera with 6000 species? I checked the articles history, you wrote that right? Or do you mean subspecies/varieties? Jasper Wubs 10:58, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

I mean subspecies/varities, but that all falls under "Species" of the "Genus" Coffea. --Robert W King 11:01, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
