This good video. Much needed for most people. Many roasters and big coffee use Robusta to increase crema (co² output).

[@joelcleare]

Okay. Now I see why speciality coffee is significantly more than commodity coffee.

[@MrAneeshb]

[@kcbuys]

[@crisvalera3954]

Which got more crema robusta or arabica

[@ggivensjr]

How come roasters and resalers don't put score on their bags? I have android app, espressolog, that ask for it but I never know what it is.

[@CremaCoffeeRoasters]

Hey George! That's a great question. The scoring system we're talking about in this video is the Q-graders score, which is for green coffee. There isn't currently a scoring system for roasted coffee, however, this is an ongoing conversation in the community, you can dig into it further here: www.scottrao.com/blog/2018/3/18/its-time-to-create-a-scoring-system-for-roast-quality

[@ggivensjr]

@@CremaCoffeeRoasters no offense to crema coffee roasters but the more I dig into the coffee scene the more it seems like a racket that is in need of major oversight and regulations. I know nobody likes the word regulation but without regulations manufacturers and big business would run rampant over consumers just like the auto industry did and still does to an extent.

[@Marcus-hx9fy]

@@ggivensjr My feeling is the opposite, big business is already running rampant over consumers, the speciality or third-wave coffee movement is dragging the coffee out of the shadows and showing it off and telling people that: "Hey! Look at this , look how great it can taste, look how much this is worth!"

[@maddyherzogenrath7908]

I totaly disagree? We all drink coffee coz of the coffeein more or less...Specialty is only a Branding tool for higher price...I do not think robusta producer have less work as ur pointing out...

[@Goodmanperson55]

Robusta is objectively a hardier plant that can produce more per acre of land, which is why it's the preferred species for industrialized farming and common commodity coffee.

[@scottscottsdale7868]

There many types of arabica. They are all distinct. It is akin to wine.

[@FixableHQ]

Have you ever tried speciality coffee? I use to think the same tbh , while I still enjoy cheap coffee cause I’m a caffeine junky.. I respect speciality coffee
