Roaster Coffee Experts at Kaldi.com Easily Characterize the Arabica and Robusta Bean Varieties



A qualified roaster coffee can easily distinguish the differences between arabica and robusta coffee beans. Although both varieties are used, a gourmet roaster coffee will usually only use the arabica variety due to its considerably higher quality. A roaster coffee expert will also find that there are significant variations between the beans that cause them to require a different roasting technique and flavor. Kaldi Gourmet Coffee Roasters are roaster coffee experts that only deal in the higher quality arabica beans.

A roaster coffee expert will examine many factors during the roasting process for both the arabica and robusta varieties. Arabica beans have a different shape, size and flavor profile than the robusta type, so a true roaster coffee expert will be able to know right away what type of bean they have in their hands just by an examination. The first thing a roaster coffee expert will look at is the shape of the bean. If the bean in their possession is long and somewhat flat it is highly likely that the roaster coffee expert is holding an arabica bean. The groove in the center of the bean also is a tell tale sign of the type of bean that the roaster coffee expert is examining. If the channel in the center of the bean is quite long reaching end to end it is most likely a roaster coffee expert will label it an arabica bean. Probably the easiest way for a roaster coffee expert to immediately tell the difference is the color of the bean. Arabica beans, like their robusta counterparts, are green in color, however, a roaster coffee expert will notice that the arabica bean will have a bluish hue to it. The roaster coffee experts at Kaldi.com can easily spot a true arabica bean upon a quick inspection.

Robusta beans, on the other hand, have very different characteristics that a roaster coffee expert will look for. Instead of being long and flat, the roaster coffee expert will look to see if the bean is rounded with a curved shape to it. Roaster coffee professionals also know that the robusta beans are much smaller than arabica. Although the robusta bean is also a greenish shade, a roaster coffee expert will look for shades of gray or brown when trying to determine if a bean is robusta or not. Physical characteristics are not the only differences noticed by the roaster coffee expert although visual inspection is often the first part of the process. The robusta bean will have a different taste when the roaster coffee expert samples it, and the roasting process prior to brewing is also different. Any true roaster coffee expert will agree that arabica has a significantly better taste and aroma than robusta, although many enjoy the higher caffeine content that the robusta bean is known for. Kaldi Gourmet Coffee Roasters guarantees that their roaster coffee experts only offer pure arabica beans in all of their products.
