What are the main coffee types?

Arabica

Arabica coffee is the most popular coffee in the world. It originates from Ethiopia and is known for its mild and fruity taste. Robusta is the second most commonly used coffee bean, and it is a cousin of Arabica. It has a distinctive earthy taste, which is popular in espresso and cappuccino. Robusta is grown in tropical regions, such as Africa and South America.

Robusta

Robusta is a type of coffee that is usually grown in tropical regions, including South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Robusta is made from the coffee cherries of the Coffea canephora plant. The bean is smaller, darker, and more compact than the Arabica bean, which is what most coffee drinkers are used to. Robusta coffee is known for its earthy, smoky flavor. It is sometimes called “burned coffee” because the flavor is similar to that of a fireplace.

Café au lait

There are three main types of coffee beans: Arabica, Robusta, and Liberation. Arabica coffees have a mild, buttery flavor. Robusta coffee beans have a thick, earthy taste and are grown in tropical regions throughout the world, such as Africa and South America. Liberation coffee is a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans.

French roast

We have three coffee types: Robusta, Arabica, and Robusta-Arabica. Robusta is a short-triggered coffee, which is most often used in espresso, while Arabica is a medium-long-triggered coffee. Robusta-Arabica is a cross between the two, and is what most coffee shops use.

Italian

There are four main types of coffee: Arabica, Robusta, Bourbon and Caturra, which is a variety of Arabica. Depending on where coffee originated, these types are called different things. Arabica is the most popular coffee type grown in Africa and South America. Robusta coffee is the second most commonly consumed coffee type in the world. Bourbon coffee is a variety of Arabica developed in the Caribbean region. Caturra is a cross between Arabica and Robusta.

There are many ways you can enjoy your morning coffee: iced, over ice, hot, iced coffee with milk, or hot coffee with milk. Each coffee type has its own distinct flavor, and you can even add sweetener or flavorings.

Ethiopian

The most popular Ethiopian coffee is called Roba, which translates to “special coffee”. Roba is a coffee that is made with a coffee cherry that has not been dried. Roba is then brewed using boiling water and ground coffee beans. The coffee is flavorful and earthy with a thick consistency.

Conclusion

When most people think of coffee, they usually refer to the type of coffee brewed using coffee beans (or coffee powder). But there are many other varieties of coffee, including coffee made from coffee cherries (also called coffee berries), coffee made from the seed of a coffee plant, and coffee made from the pulp of coffee cherries.
