Arabica coffee beans are accepted as a better-flavored coffee. There are two main flavors of coffees that are grown for sale on the market: Robusta and Arabica. Gourmet coffee shops serve the smooth and palatable Arabica coffee, while the worst mug of coffee you ever had maybe came from a pot of bitter Robusta coffee that was sitting for a long time.  Most specialty coffee and tea supplies only sell Arabica coffee and beans. On the other hand, the large companies either sell Robusta coffee beans, or a mixture of both types of coffee beans. This is because they are cheaper for the wholesaler and subsequently inexpensive to you the customer. Arabica coffee beans bring a stronger-tasting coffee, and actually own less caffeine compared to robusta coffee beans. They cost a little more, but are way more satisfying.
