Want More Caffeine in Your Coffee? Pick The Correct Bean

Appreciating Coffee Like Wine - The Atlantic Food Channel A little info for you: how your bean is roasted has negligible impact on the amount of caffeine in your coffee. However, the species of bean that is roasted and ground has a significant impact. The Atlantic Food article lists 2 cultivar (species) of beans: Arabica and Robusta and says that Arabica beans have 1/2 as much caffeine as Robusta. This is particularly important for you pastors out there with bad and/or long sermons that cause drowsiness. Serve beans of the Robusta variety. I'm wondering if this could be a substitute for Ritalin as well.
