[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When it comes to choosing your coffee powder or your coffee bean, it can be daunting. You probably feel like there’s so many different types of coffee powders to choose from. However, there are actually only two types of coffee beans that really count. Those are Arabica and Robusta.<\/p>\n
If you like your coffee to conjure up tastes of fruit and berries and sweeter than bitter, then Arabica beans are for you. Arabica beans have twice the sugar content as Robusta beans. Mostly grown in Latin America, Arabica beans tend to be more expensive than Robusta beans but surprisingly contain just half the caffeine.(1.5{de94edd26131aa442062517f5b0f9073feec7a6f3fe51e0cb40f90abe03b7f36} vs 2.7{de94edd26131aa442062517f5b0f9073feec7a6f3fe51e0cb40f90abe03b7f36}). This relatively high amount of caffeine in Robusta beans makes them poisonous for bugs and so they\u2019re more resilient to grow.<\/p>\n
Robusta beans are often thought to be inferior, which is not always the case. Some high-quality Robusta beans are especially good for espressos. They have a very deep flavour and excellent crema.\u00a0 And it\u2019s the crema result that guarantees Robusta beans a place in most Italian coffee blends. Robusta is more readily available because the beans are easier to grow. They\u2019re sturdier plants, often grown at low altitudes, and are much quicker to bear fruit.\u00a0 Mostly grown in Africa and Indonesia, the yield per tree is much higher than with Arabica beans.<\/p>\n
Next time you\u2019re in the supermarket, shopping for coffee powder for your Tecnora Classico 107M<\/a><\/strong> or perhaps the CaffeGusto TCM 109M<\/a>, check what you\u2019re buying. Do some research. And don\u2019t fall in to the trap of believing that all Arabica beans are high-quality and all Robusta beans are not. Top-class specialty Robusta coffee is as good if not better than low-class Arabica. But it\u2019s difficult to find: Robusta only accounts for 25{de94edd26131aa442062517f5b0f9073feec7a6f3fe51e0cb40f90abe03b7f36} of the world\u2019s coffee production. It\u2019s about personal taste. Sample a few blends and figure out what it is you like.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When it comes to choosing your coffee powder or your coffee bean, it can be daunting.
