The two main types of coffee beans are robusta and arabica.

And for decades, one bean has dominated the other.

You don't need to know how to pronounce arabica beans.

You just need to know how to drink them.

That's coffee made with 100% arabica beans.

Nick Cafe believes in using 100% fine arabica beans.

We do is use freshly ground arabica beans and organic milk.

You'll see a lot of big coffee companies,

one of the ways that they communicate that they're serious about coffee,

they say 100% arabica and it's lots of them.

So it's just this sort of byword for communicating good coffee

is 100% arabica.

Our colleague John Eman says,

robusta, meanwhile, has a reputation for being cheap and not very good.

Robusta, it was treated as inferior.

Starbucks on its website says,

harsh or taste is often compared to burnt rubber.

Robusta, in the way it's traditionally been grown and produced,

is very, very bitter.

It tastes a bit like drinking,

but tastes a bit like what I imagine fuel tastes like.

It's intense.
