If the variety of coffee is divided by biology, it can be divided into Arabica coffee beans (Arabica), Robusta (Robusta) and Leibirika (Liberica). The main drinking varieties in the world are Arabica and Robusta. Rabrika is often overlooked because of its low yield or poor quality.

Generally speaking, Arabica is mainly used in single or boutique coffee, while Robusta is used to make instant coffee. Although Arabica can be defined as premium coffee and Robusta as secondary, it does not have to be classified in this way, and it is more appropriate to distinguish it according to its own favorite taste. In terms of taste, the United States and Japan drink light coffee made from Arabica more often, while Europe prefers Italian concentrate made from a mixture of Arabica and Robusta.
