Compared with Arabica beans, Robusta coffee beans have stronger flavor, more bitterness and thinner acidity, and even caffeine is stronger than Arabica beans, so Robusta coffee beans are often added to Italian coffee beans as a rich base, and then mixed with Arabica beans to enhance the aroma and acidity performance.
