While there might appear to be so many different types of coffee to choose from for your espresso coffee maker, there are actually only two types of coffee beans that really count: <\/span><b>Arabica and Robusta.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>We also have the <b>Peaberry<\/b> bean, widely available and preferred in India and also considered as a &#8216;variety&#8217; of coffee bean. Let us explain:<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peaberry beans are not a coffee variety but a mutation of either Arabica or Robusta beans. A regular coffee bean has two halves and is flattened on one side. A Peaberry bean is round-shaped like a pea pod and is smaller in size than a regular bean. During the growth cycle of a regular bean, a mutation occurs occasionally and only one half of the bean develops and changes shape to a sphere. Not only do these mutations look different, but they also taste richer, have more caffeine content, and have a better aroma.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-40520ba elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"40520ba\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c73f82d\" data-id=\"c73f82d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3776ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f3776ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Arabica, Robusta and Peaberry explained.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a6c8746 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a6c8746\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-14b6b29\" data-id=\"14b6b29\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43fc33e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43fc33e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you like your coffee to conjure up tastes of fruit and berries, if you\u2019re fonder of sweet than bitter, then Arabica beans are probably your best bet. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arabica beans have twice the sugar content as Robusta beans, which probably has a lot to do with their popularity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mostly grown in Latin America, Arabica beans tend to be more expensive than Robusta beans but surprisingly contain just half the caffeine (1.5% vs 2.7%). This relatively high amount of caffeine in Robusta beans makes them poisonous for bugs and so they\u2019re more resilient to grow.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robusta beans are often thought to be inferior, which is not always the case. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some high-quality Robusta beans are especially good for espressos as they have a very deep flavour and excellent crema.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next time you\u2019re in the supermarket, or shopping online for coffee powder for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tecnora.in\/product\/caffegusto-tcm-109m\">Tecnora Caffe Gusto 109M<\/a> or perhaps the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tecnora.in\/product\/epic-tcm-108a\">EPIC TCM 801A<\/a>, check what you\u2019re buying. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do some research. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And don\u2019t fall into the trap of believing that all Arabica beans are high-quality and all Robusta beans are not. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top-class specialty Robusta coffee is as good if not better than low-class Arabica. But it\u2019s difficult to find: <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robusta only accounts for 25% of the world\u2019s coffee production. It\u2019s about personal taste. Sample a few blends and figure out what it is you like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>And then there&#8217;s the Peaberry bean.
