There are several types of coffee plants, but there are only two main species of the coffee plant. The two main species of the coffee plant are the Coffea Arabica and the Coffea canephora (Robusta), whereas Arabica is the eldest of the two. Robusta contains 40 to 50 percent more caffeine than Arabica, and can be cultivated in environments that are not suited for the growth of Arabica, which has led to its use as an inexpensive substitute for Arabica in commercial coffee blends. The taste of Robusta is bitter and has little flavor, compared with Arabica, and has a “burnt rubber” or “wet cardboard” aroma and flavor. The best quality Robusta plants are used as ingredients in espresso blends, which provide a better foamy head and lower ingredient costs. Many of Italy’s espresso blends are based on dark-roasted Robusta. Read More!!!
