What are the two species of coffee beans routinely used?

The two main species of coffee beans routinely used are:

1. Arabica (Coffea arabica): This is the most popular species, known for its smooth, balanced flavor with notes of chocolate, caramel, and fruit. It accounts for about 60% of global production.

2. Robusta (Coffea canephora): This species has a stronger, more bitter flavor with a higher caffeine content. It is often used in blends to add a bolder taste and stronger kick. It accounts for about 30% of global production.

There are other species of coffee, but these two dominate the market and are the most commonly consumed.
