413 comments and not a single mention of arabica beans? :-)

Maybe it's a local/German thing, but here you will not find a single brand that will not praise its 100% arabica beans content.

Now, we lived close to an old Italian guy who roasted coffee for a living in a small garage. A lot of it went to his families restaurant, coffee and ice cream place.

Whenever he got the chance he went on a rant that arabica beans were overrated and that the robusta beans he was using were superior in quality (and more expensive).

No idea if that is true, but his roasts were great, so there must have been at least some truth to it.
