Some interesting facts about coffee: Today, over 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed worldwide every day. Most farmers cultivate the Arabica species. Although less popular, Robusta coffee has a slightly more bitter taste and a higher caffeine content. There are both hot and cold extraction methods for ground coffee, and the caffeine content varies depending on the type of beans and the preparation method. Typically, a serving of instant Arabica coffee contains about 70 mg of caffeine, while a cup of brewed Robusta coffee can contain up to 200 mg.
