Arabica beans are known for their smooth and slightly sweet flavor. They often contain fruity or chocolate-like notes and are preferred in premium cafés and specialty coffee shops.
Robusta beans are stronger, bolder, and contain higher caffeine levels. They create a thicker crema and stronger flavor, making them popular for espresso blends.
