The "potato taste" of some coffees reduces their quality and value. It is caused by a molecule produced following the introduction of a bacterium into the beans. A team from CIRAD, working with the Institut Pasteur, recently identified the bacterium. It is a new species, christened Pantoea coffeiphila.
