\r\n\r\nNo.\r\n\r\nThere are two types of coffee beans. Arabica, which is grown at high alltitudes and is the best quality.\r\nThen you have Robustica coffee beans which grow in the low lands are of a poorer quality.\r\nHowever, they are higher in caffeine so a lot of the roasters will use them for their espresso roast.\r\nThe pre packaged coffee's you buy at the food chains mostly use Robustica becasue it is cheaper. And it has the higher caffeine.\r\nI read some where and I can't remember where, that even though you may see pre packaged coffee that says they use 100% Arabica, this is not necessarily so. The goverining regulations say that to say you have 100% arabica you only need 40% Arabica and the rest can be robustica.\r\n\r\nHere is some info\r\n\r\nArabica vs. Robusta\r\n\r\nAlthough there are over twenty species of coffee plant, only two account for the majority of commercial coffee sold worldwide: arabica and robusta. The story of arabica and robusta coffee beans is really a story about quantity vs. quality.\r\n\r\nRobusta coffee beans constitute the majority of low-quality mass-produced pre-ground coffee blends and freeze-dried coffee found in jars and cans. You can buy a lot of robusta coffee beans for your money, but they tend to be bitter and bland. One coffee critic compared the chief flavor constituent of robusta coffee beans to that of "a brown paper bag."\r\n\r\nYes, the flavor difference between arabica and robusta coffee beans is enormous! In contrast, arabica coffee beans are the world's most flavorful beans. The list of arabica beans reads like a "Who's Who" of the coffee world: Costa Rican Tarrazu, Guatemalan Hueheutenango, Kenyan AA, Sumatra Mandheling, and Tanzanian Peaberry, just to name a few. \r\n\r\nArabica coffee beans also contain only half the caffeine of robusta, which means you can enjoy more cups throughout the day without getting the jitters. If you're looking for quality over quantity, arabica coffee beans are the choice for you.
