Robusta beans, therefore, need to be blended with arabica beans, in order to tame down the more forward flavors of the robusta beans.
Robusta beans are easier to grow and less picky about their growing conditions, which makes them much cheaper.Īrabica beans have more deep, complex, and multi-faceted flavor profiles, while robusta beans are higher in caffeine, but with a more bitter and overpowering taste. Arabica beans are harder to grow and prefer very specific climates, but their quality, flavor, and aroma is far superior to robusta beans.
Blends, however, can be made with a mixture of coffee beans from all over the world, as well as a mixture of both arabica and robusta beans. While single-sourced coffee must be made from coffee beans that were all produced from the same country and farm. Maxwell House used a blend as well in the past, but in 2007, they decided to improve their coffee by using 100% arabica coffee beans. Mass-market brands like Folgers, typically make their pre-ground coffees as a blend, pairing the cheaper, lower-quality robusta beans with the tastier, more expensive arabica beans. That’s because Folgers purchases coffee beans from coffee farmers all over the world. Though, “mountain grown,” indicates that Folgers coffee beans are produced in a high-altitude climate, though no altitudes are mentioned directly, nor does Folgers indicate any particular places where their coffee is sourced. According to the brand’s own website, Folgers is made with a blend of robusta and arabica coffee beans, which are mountain grown and medium-roasted for a rich, smooth flavor. The kind of coffee Folgers uses, however, is shrouded in mystery. The ingredient list is the same as it has always been since day one: 100% coffee. The original Folgers, called Folgers Classic Roast, is said to use the same recipe that they have been using since the company was founded in the 1800’s. The brand’s slogan, “the best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup,” is permanently etched into the memory of a large percentage of American families. Many people, especially in America, where Folgers originated and is still popular to this day, have been purchasing, brewing, and enjoying Folgers brand coffee for their entire lives. Folgers is one of the best selling brands of coffee in America, and a staple at many households. – Bill BĪNSWER: There is nothing specifically wrong with Folgers coffee. QUESTION: What’s wrong with Folgers coffee? I think it’s good and a lot of those fancy coffees are just bitter and disgusting.
