What is Robusta Coffee?

Robusta is comes from Coffea canephora. It is one of the two main species of coffee, along with arabica. While native to West Africa, this plant is grown in many parts of the world. It's most often cultivated in the Eastern hemisphere, primarily in Vietnam. Major growers are also based in Indonesia, India, and central Africa.

This coffee can grow in a robust variety of climates, which is why the plant is commonly called Robusta. Climates Robusta can grow in a range from humid to dry. These coffee beans are more resistant to the sun than arabica beans and do better in hot temperatures. Robusta is a hearty plant. Growing is easier than other coffee beans.

The coffee beans can grow in low altitudes or dry soil without any issues. Robusta beans are also less susceptible to pests and disease than other Arabica beans. The plant's protection against pests is in part due to its high caffeine content. This species of coffee is not impacted by coffee rust, a fungus that kills the leaves and fruit of other coffee varieties.

Coffee rust is an economically disastrous fungus for coffee growers and sellers. Quarantining arabica is extremely difficult, and the fungus has reached almost every coffee-growing region in the world.

At Blank Ink Coffee we inspect every single pallet of coffee that we sell is carefully vetted for quality.

Is Robusta Coffee Expensive?

How Does Robusta Coffee Taste?

Robusta coffee is widely used in espresso blends and coffee blends. Some people find the coffee tastes bitter, but if it is roasted and handled properly the end result is full-bodied and delicious.

Robusta coffee is chlorogenic. The high caffeine content does impact the flavor. It's not as warm or dark as arabica, but offers a bright flavor, and contains notes of chocolate.

Search no further for the perfect espresso. The caffeine and chocolate notes are why this coffee is so suited to espresso compared to other coffee beans. Plus, these coffee beans will produce more frothy crema when blended into fine powders.

What Is Robusta Coffee Used For?

Crema is the fragrant and bubbly top that forms when you pour a shot of espresso. These bubbles are formed with beans are perfectly ground into a fine mixture that allows for lots of airflow. It's indicative of fresh, expensive coffee, and Robusta is naturally inclined to producing a beautiful crema on top of the espresso.

Since our coffee is roasted to order, it will always look fresh and delicious when you make that pour. Customers of our wholesale beans know that these beans work perfectly for all of their needs and that consumers love our products.

In a similar vein to perfect espresso, these coffee beans also make fantastic instant coffee. Most Robusta beans on the market will be used to make instant coffee because it's so well suited to this usage. Instant coffee generally tastes weaker than a proper brew, so the bitter taste is lost on the consumer. However, Robusta beans don't need to be ground into powders to taste amazing.

Can Coffee Robusta Be Used Like Arabica?

Robusta coffee can also be used in a similar way to arabica coffee. You might want to take some special considerations due to the difference in taste, but these beans are functionally the exact same. There's no need to fret about grinding or brewing. Simply make coffee you know your customers will love.

This is in part because the Robusta offered by Blank Ink Coffee is gourmet. Gourmet Robusta offers a strong taste, so for regular brewing, this coffee is most enjoyable with milk and sugar. It can even be used to create a coffee blend and is useful for morning blends with lots of caffeine.

Flavored coffee works wonderfully using Robusta beans since the chocolatey or vanilla flavors complement the bright beans and can reduce any bitterness the consumer might taste. If your business is known for sweet French vanilla, then that might be an ideal place to start using Robusta.

Since these beans are so caffeinated, they work best for early morning blends. Robusta beans would need to be perfectly balanced with other species of beans to create a mid-day or evening coffee.

Is Starbucks Coffee Arabica or Robusta?

Starbucks uses Arabica coffee for all of its products. The brand is loyal to certain producers and chooses not to use Robusta beans. Don't let deter you from using Robusta coffee beans.
