De smaak van je koffie begint niet bij de machine, maar bij de boon. Arabica of Robusta, Liberica of Excelsa: elk soort heeft zijn eigen herkomst, karakter en cafeinegehalte. Zodra je die verschillen kent, ga je een kopje heel anders proeven.
In dit playbook loop je langs de vier bekendste koffiebonen. Je ontdekt waar ze vandaan komen, wat ze uniek maakt en welke smaaktonen je kunt verwachten. Neem er zelf een kop bij en probeer te herkennen wat je in je pakket bonen hebt zitten.

Arabica is the most consumed bean at around sixty percent. Originally from southwest Ethiopia, it grows at altitude, sweet and smooth with notes of fruit and berries.
Robusta accounts for about forty percent, stronger and more bitter, with almost double the caffeine. Mainly grown in Africa and Indonesia.
Liberica is rarer, mainly from the Philippines. The beans are larger and asymmetrical, with a floral, fruity flavor.
Excelsa is grown in small quantities in Southeast Asia and adds depth to a blend with fruity, spicy notes. Try to track down a pack that contains it.
Suggestion: Check the packaging of your coffee to see which variety is in it.For anyone copying this
