Robusta coffee, also known as large leaf species / large fruit / large grain coffee, is a tree species between shrubs and tall trees, with long leaves, bright green leaves and trees up to 10 meters high, but with shallow roots.

Arabica fruit is slightly more round and smaller than Arabica coffee, while coffee beans are flat, straight in the middle and in a zigzag shape. (Arabica coffee beans sound semi-elliptical, with s-shaped potholes in the middle.)

Compared with Arabica coffee beans, Robusta has the advantages of fast growth, strong disease resistance and insect resistance, can adapt to lower altitude and higher temperature environment, and has a strong tolerance, but it has a strong flavor. Some robusta coffee beans grown at low altitude, poor quality or commercially sold usually have obvious earthy and rubber taste, and are difficult to taste directly.

However, there are also some good boutique robusta coffee beans, which are usually grown in an area of 1200m and have been carefully cared for, picked and treated, so the flavor can show pleasant flavors such as walnut, peanut, hazelnut, wheat grain and so on.

But in spite of this, the taste of Robusta coffee beans is so strong that drinking it directly can make you cry until you wake up. However, if a small amount of Arabica coffee beans can be mixed together, the alcohol thickness of the coffee can be further increased, and the negative taste of Robusta will not be shown too much.

How do you drink robusta coffee powder?

In general, the Robusta coffee powder on the market is of average quality, and it may be very bitter if you drink it directly. In this article, Qianjie Coffee will teach you to use Robusta to make Vietnamese coffee.

First of all, we need to prepare a Vietnamese trickling filter pot (it is sold cheaply online), then pick up the pressure plate of the filter cup, put in the coffee powder, and then smooth it out and install the pressure plate.

Then pour the right amount of condensed milk into a heat-resistant glass.

Finally, pour in hot water for steaming and soak the coffee powder. Wait 20 seconds to add the 1:10 hot water and wait for the end of the drip.
