Different types of coffee beans.
In U.S. supermarkets, you’ll typically find two types of coffee beans
for sale: Arabica and Robusta. You may be wondering, is there a
difference between Arabica and Robusta? Oh, there definitely is. Let’s
get right to it.
Arabica is the most popular type of coffee, hands down. Depending on who
you ask, many coffee enthusiasts prefer using Arabica beans due to its
taste. Typically used for black coffee, Arabica beans have a sweeter,
more complex flavor that you can drink straight. Funny thing is, even
though it’s the most popular, it doesn’t have as much caffeine as
Robusta. While Arabica is the most popular, Robusta is
cheaper and stronger. Because of its bitter flavor, you’ll typically see
Robusta used for espresso drinks and in instant coffee mixes. If your
Monday morning is lagging, reach for a cup of coffee that uses Robusta
beans. Their high caffeine content will wake you right up!
