我们都有过这样的经历：在喜欢的咖啡店门前排着队，因为搞不清楚冷萃咖啡和冰咖啡到底有什么区别而满头大汗。没错，我就这样过。好消息来了：本文归纳了咖啡的大小事项，从阿拉比卡和罗布斯塔咖啡豆的区别，到煮咖啡的所有手法。

Different types of coffee beans

不同种类的咖啡豆

In U.S. supermarkets, youll typically find two types of coffee beans for sale: Arabica and Robusta. You may be wondering, is there a difference between Arabica and Robusta? Oh, there definitely is. Lets get right to it.

美国的超市一般会出售两种咖啡豆：阿拉比卡咖啡豆和罗布斯塔咖啡豆。你可能要问了，它们有什么区别呢？当然有。我们这就来说说。

Arabica

阿拉比卡咖啡豆

Arabica is the most popular type of coffee. Many coffee enthusiasts prefer using Arabica beans due to its taste.

阿拉比卡是最受欢迎的咖啡豆。许多咖啡爱好者喜欢阿拉比卡咖啡豆是因为它独特的风味。阿拉比卡咖啡豆味道更香甜、更复杂，可以直接饮用，通常用来制作黑咖啡。有趣的是，尽管阿拉比卡咖啡豆最受欢迎，但它的咖啡因含量比罗布斯塔咖啡豆少。

Robusta

罗布斯塔咖啡豆

While Arabica is the most popular, Robusta is cheaper and stronger. Because of its bitter flavor, youll typically see Robusta used for espresso drinks and in instant coffee mixes. If your Monday morning is lagging, reach for a cup of coffee that uses Robusta beans. Their high caffeine content will wake you right up!

虽然阿拉比卡最受欢迎，但罗布斯塔更便宜，功效更强。咖啡豆特有的苦味决定了它一般用于制作浓缩咖啡和多合一速溶咖啡。如果你周一早上没干劲，那就喝一杯用罗布斯塔咖啡豆制成的咖啡，高咖啡因含量会立刻将你唤醒！
