Which Coffee Bean is Best?

If you are a daily coffee hound, you may have picked up that there are two main species of the coffee plant producing beans out there. Yes, sir, you are correct- they are Arabica and Robusta. Let me break this down for you real quick like, and tell you that the better bean of higher caliber is the Arabica bean because it is grown in more delicate climates and has more care in the harvest. It does have half the caffeine content of its Robusta brother, but it is what you will find hitting all the bold tones in your gourmet coffee roasts. Robusta is mainly a cheap mixer for commercial coffee to conserve costs, so one friend to another, I am telling you that Arabica beans cannot be beat. Don't say I didn't warn ya!
