Coffee Quality
Coffee does not have to be expensive to be great, but quality really does matter. The quality of coffee starts with the quality of the green (raw) beans. You cannot make a good cup of coffee from a bad selection of green coffee beans.
There are two species of the coffee plant, Arabica and Robusta.
Specialty or Gourmet Coffee is 100% Arabica Coffee. Arabica coffee is more expensive than Robusta, because of its superior quality and flavor, but it also needs the right climate, elevation and care to grow. Robusta coffee is used in lower quality less expensive coffees because it is low-priced and can grow in virtually any climate at any elevation with little to no care.
