Arabica Vs Robusta Coffee Beans
Executive summary about Arabica vs Robusta Cofee by Bob W. Jones
First of all lets start by looking at the Arabica beans (Coffea arabica), named by the Arabs. Also the Arabica beans are more prone to disease, whilst the high concentration of caffeine in Robusta beans helps protect them from pests.
Robusta beans have twice the amount of caffeine of Arabica, but they also have less flavor.
The perfect blend is always a blend of coffee beans from different origins. It could be 100% Arabica beans or a mix of robusta and Arabica together. There are more than 100 different varieties of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans in relation to the country of origin. As a general rule, the best Arabica Beans come from South America, whilst the best Robusta beans are usually sourced from India.

Specialty Coffee - Arabica Vs Robusta
Executive summary about Arabica vs Robusta Cofee by Kristen Dean
High quality blends such as Specialty Coffee tend to be 100% Arabica. When it comes to coffee there are basically two types of coffee beans which are used in making it - Arabica and Robusta. The question or debate between Arabica and Robusta or Premium Vs regular coffee is simply of one between quality Vs quantity. When we talk about specialty coffee we are referring to the coffee which is made out of Arabica beans which is a prerequisite for gourmet specialty coffee. Connoisseurs consider this type of coffee to be far superior to the more readily available kinds and recommend these.
If the coffee scores over 80 on a scale of 100 then it can be considered Specialty coffee or even gourmet.
