Munching Concerns

We are all aware of how coffee is usually brewed in your average household. There's either the instant mix method or the drip style method. Either way, people tend to only be familiar with these two when in reality, there is much more to it than what the majority know and can appreciate. In short, coffee is an art and it can not be explained in such short time, therefor I will be covering the topic of coffee throughout several posts.
Initially, its intricacy starts with what type of coffee beans are used. There are two main types: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica offers a much more flavorful experience, a fuller taste to it, and is seen as the complete opposite of Robusta; the much more economically preferred type within the mass producing coffee industry.
At first, it seems irrelevant. How should we be concerned with the differences? Considering the concept that we're used to either a 100% Robusta coffee and/ or a mix of Arabica and Robusta, we are missing out on what could be great coffee. Coffee that doesn't require creamers, loads of sugar, and whatever else must mask that bitter taste associated with Robusta beans. So I end this thought by asking you all...When was the last time you tried coffee black and enjoyed it?
