How many types of coffee beans are there? An introduction to different types of black coffee - Does moka pot black coffee have a stronger flavor? How to make it?

You've probably often heard the names Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. Do you know the difference between them? FrontStreet Coffee is here to tell you about their specific differences and how many types of coffee actually exist in the world.

Arabica

Arabica coffee is the most popular type of coffee, without a doubt. Depending on who you ask, many coffee enthusiasts prefer using Arabica coffee beans for their taste. Typically used for black coffee, Arabica coffee beans have a sweeter, more complex flavor that you can drink straight. Interestingly, despite being the most popular, it contains less caffeine than Robusta.

Robusta

While Arabica coffee is the most popular, Robusta coffee is cheaper and stronger in intensity. Due to its bitter taste, you'll typically see Robusta used in espresso drinks and instant coffee blends. If your Monday morning is dragging on, grab a coffee made with Robusta coffee beans. Their high caffeine content will wake you up instantly!

Common Coffee Types

Next, let's look at several common coffee types that people often drink~

French Press

This manual coffee maker is extremely easy to use. Add ground coffee beans to your French press, pour boiling hot water over the coffee grounds, let the coffee steep for a few minutes, and finally press the plunger and pour! It's that simple. French presses can be used with any beans, but many prefer to use them for darker, richer roasts.

Percolator

Try using a Percolator to add a vintage touch to your daily brew—like a throwback to the 1880s. Simply put, a percolator brews coffee by continuously pushing boiling hot water bubbles into a "coffee chamber" to steep coffee grounds. This cycle repeats until the coffee is ready to serve.

Single Serve

AeroPress

Drip

All you have to do is scoop coffee, pour it into a filter, pour in some water, and press start, letting the drip coffee maker work its coffee magic. Soon, you'll hear the beautiful sound of coffee dripping into the carafe. Morning, conquered. Some drip coffee makers also come with thermal carafes that typically have double stainless steel walls, and the thermos can keep your coffee tasting fresh and hot for longer than most glass carafes. Some drip coffee makers use thermal carafes, but traditionally, they use glass carafes.

Pour Over

Pour over coffee makers are exactly what they sound like: you manually pour hot water over coffee beans. With reliable 5-star ratings on Amazon, pour over coffee makers like Chemex are excellent choices. Fans love the fact that you can control the strength of the coffee and that the carafe is very easy to clean. However, you do need a special filter that costs more than typical drip coffee filters. But some are reusable.

Cold Brew

Dedicated cold brew coffee enthusiasts might want to buy a cold brew coffee maker. You can store coffee for up to 36 hours.

Moka

The Moka pot has many similarities with the percolator, and the two are often confused. Both require a heated surface like a stove or even a campfire. However, the Moka pot produces an espresso-like beverage, and its brewing process is slightly different from the percolator. You need to pay extra attention because when the Moka pot runs out of water, you should remove the pot from the hot surface to prevent the coffee from burning. With the percolator's simple brewing process, the longer you let it run, the stronger the coffee tastes and it produces crema like espresso. So what are the pros and cons of using a Moka pot to make coffee? Everyone can follow FrontStreet Coffee's official account, and we will answer them one by one for you.
