Introduction to Robusta Coffee Flavor description, Baking degree recording, Taste and Fine Coffee

High-quality Arabica coffee requires a cumbersome process of hand picking, selection and fine processing, so the world's most expensive and best coffee beans are Arabica coffee. "Robusta" coffee is usually used to produce instant coffee and canned coffee because of its low cost. A small number of better quality "Robusta" coffee are also used in mixed coffee (with Arabica coffee) espresso beans.

Other differences

There is another important difference: the amount of "Caffeine" (C8H10N4O2). Robusta coffee contains about twice as much caffeine as Arabica coffee, which is why drinking some canned coffee is prone to palpitations and insomnia.

After seeing so many differences between Arabica Coffee and Robusta Coffee, we must finally emphasize:

"Arabica coffee" is not the same as "good coffee", "Robusta" is not absolutely cheap coffee!

Arabica coffee accounts for 75% of the world's coffee production, and its quality varies widely, from good to bad. In recent years, a few countries (such as India) have devoted themselves to improving the quality of robusta coffee. They have planted robusta in high altitude areas, given the most careful care, and carefully washed the coffee. As a result, they get very good quality robusta coffee beans! Top Robusta beans are not cheap either, getting rid of the old impression that Robusta are cheap beans! Therefore, the quality of coffee beans can no longer be judged by the crude and outdated ancient judgment standard of "is it Arabica beans"?

Robusta coffee has the advantages of strong adaptability, easy planting, fast growth and high yield. in general, the treatment of raw beans is relatively extensive and low quality (there is also a small amount of washed refined robusta). Robusta coffee has a round and rugged shape, relatively small grains, mixed beans, bright and strong flavor, mainly bitter taste, and has a bad rubber taste or mildew smell because of its low level of raw bean treatment. most Robusta beans are not suitable for drinking as a single coffee, and a few Robusta beans are used as Italian ingredients. The proportion is very low (but it does not rule out the fact that very few high-quality Robbosa beans can reach more than half of them). In general, robusta coffee is used in instant coffee (which extracts about twice as much liquid as Arabica), canned coffee, liquid coffee and other industrial coffees. Its caffeine content is much higher than that of Arabica species, about 3.2%.
