„Find out if you are drinking specialty coffee from the Arabica species of coffee plant. Most bulk coffee (think Folgers) is Robusta, and not considered specialty. The climate, farming, and processing of the country of origin can all affect the final result. Each country also has its own labeling and quality control.“

„It seems to me that Starbucks raises coffee appreciation from a Folgers level to a moderate level. Beyond that its up to the specialty coffee sellers. For those of you living in a city where great coffee is new, where Starbucks has started peppering the town with shops, I say take advantage of the opportunity.“

„For example, robusta coffee -- theother principal botanical species, which is used primarily in blended, canned coffees--normally has twice the caffeine content of arabica (specialty or gourmet) coffee. Afive-ounce cup of coffee will contain from 75 to 155 milligrams (.0026 to .0054 ounces) ofcaffeine, depending on the type of bean, brewing method and amount of coffee used. Thepercentage content in arabica coffee is the lowest in caffeine with 1.53%.“

Tea & Coffee 12/04 - Gourmet Robustas: The Awakening of Specialty Coffees
„The answers are simple: diversity, and the fact that a good, well-processed robusta will always be superior to a mediocre Arabica unevenly prepared. Fifteen years ago, the specialty market involved only the very best coffees, carefully picked and processed. As the market grew, it attracted a lot of greed, and many coffees, which would barely pass the exchange or sell without a discount are now offered as “gourmet,” as long as they include the magic word “Arabica.” This makes no sense and it drives the roaster towards using lower qualities. Not every coffee lover looks for acidity and there is nothing wrong or inferior in a zero defect carefully prepared, washed Robusta, which was after all the original basis for Italian espresso.“

„However, only 10% of the crop is arabica, and the number of quality beans available for the specialty coffee industry is limited. Even though they are a small percentage of total production, arabica coffees from this region are considered some of the best in the world, and are prized for their richness, full body, long finish, earthiness and gentle acidity.“
