Arabica Vs Robusta

The Arabica/Robusta coffee bean debate is all about quality. At Vittoria Coffee, all of our coffee is 100% Arabica and the Arabica coffee bean is considered by most as a much superior quality bean than the cheaper Robusta bean. Arabica has a well rounded, mild and pleasant aroma and accounts for approximately 70% of the world’s coffee production.

Some coffee producers use the cheaper Robusta coffee beans to fill their blends and save money. No matter what percentage of Robusta coffee bean is used in a blend, an inferior quality coffee bean still affects the taste and quality of the coffee.

Vittoria Coffee only uses 100% Arabica beans in all our blends.
