The case for drinking robusta coffee instead of arabica...
10 differences Between Robusta & Arabica Coffee
2. "the Robusta bean has 2.7% caffeine content, almost double the 1.5% of Arabica"
3. "Arabica contains almost 60% more lipids and almost twice the concentration of sugar than Robusta"
4. "green beans of Robusta is about half the price of Arabica green beans on the commodity market"
6. "If you’re drinking instant coffee? Well, that’s probably all Robusta"
9. "Robusta is 7-10% CGA (Chlorogenic acid) and Arabica has 5.5-8% CGA."
To wrap up, the cheap instant coffee at your dollar store, if it's made of robusta beans, has twice the caffeine, more of the antioxidant CGA, and a lot less of the oil in coffee beans, which happens to be mostly unsaturated. And you can add it to hot milk for easy calories.
Robusta 1, Arabica 0.
