conchoid (plural conchoids)
(mathematics, geometry) Any of a family of curves defined as the locus of points p, such that each p is on a line that passes through a given fixed point P and intersects a given curve, C, and the distance from p to the point of intersection with C is a specified constant (note that for nontrivial cases two such points p satisfy the criteria, and the resultant curve has two parts).
(geology) A conchoidal fracture in rock.
The fixed point (P) of the construction may be referred to as the focus of the conchoid; it may also be defined as the origin (of a Cartesian coordinate system) or the pole (if polar coordinates are used), and potentially referred to accordingly. The curve C is an example of a directrix.

Coffee starts as a yellow berry, changes into a red berry, and then is picked by hand to harvest. The red berry is de-shelled through a water soaking process and what’s left inside is the green coffee bean. This bean then dries in the sun for 3-5 days, where it is then packed and ready for sale.
