The perfect espresso bean for every taste

There are countless varieties of coffee, but the two most common types are the Arabica and Robusta beans. About 70% of the coffee beans on the world market come from the Arabica plant and 30% from the Robusta plant. By the way, what we refer to here as coffee beans are actually the seeds of the coffee plant’s fruit—depending on the growing region, processing, and roasting, these seeds are used to produce a wide variety of coffees.

A Comparison of Espresso Beans

While filter coffee is typically made using only the milder Arabica bean, the bold Robusta is ideal for espresso. Here’s how the two varieties differ:

Arabica beans

Arabica espresso beans are the most popular worldwide. This is due in no small part to their mildness: Arabica espresso is generally delicate and smooth in flavor, offering a wide range of mostly fruity aromas. It is also a high-altitude crop: the plant thrives best in regions at elevations of 1,000 meters or higher, at a temperature of around 20°C.

Robusta beans

As the name suggests, the Robusta plant is significantly hardier—it grows in lowland areas and can withstand higher and fluctuating temperatures. Its beans are smaller and darker than Arabica beans and have a higher caffeine content. As a result, Robusta-based espressos have a particularly strong flavor.

Tip

Both Arabica and Robusta beans are suitable for making specialty coffees with your espresso machine. Blends of both beans are also ideal: they combine the complex aroma of Arabica with the rich crema of Robusta to create a particularly harmonious taste experience.

It all comes down to the roast: beans for espresso, cappuccino, and more.

Whether you prefer Arabica, Robusta, or a blend of both for your espresso from a portafilter machine or a fully automatic machine is purely a matter of taste. Keep in mind, however, that not every variety is suitable for an Italian espresso: be sure to choose special espresso beans when purchasing. These are roasted significantly longer than coffee beans for drip coffee, which gives them their dark color and intense aroma.

By the way: Although espresso tastes much stronger than filter coffee, it is often easier on the stomach. This is because the gentle, slow roasting of espresso beans breaks down more chlorogenic acid—which is partly responsible for the acidity in espresso and coffee drinks that upsets many people’s stomachs.
