At High Voltage Coffee Co. our goal was to create a strong coffee but also wanted our coffee to be amazing to drink, strong, full of flavour, with zero bitterness, and an overall well-balanced coffee.Â
We wanted something that will make people say WOW (and we have). High Voltage Coffee is a super blend using premium Arabica and Robusta Coffee beans sourced from the highest quality producers throughout the world and then roasted in-house here in Australia for the ultimate freshness and taste.
Robusta and Arabica beans both have different positive qualities. If done right, they can be blended to create a super coffee. Robusta is the strength-giving element of High Voltage Coffee. The Robusta beans contain around 2.2% caffeine, compared to the Arabica beans 1%. We go a few steps further and source Robusta which has even higher Caffeine content.
Why wouldn’t we just use 100% Robusta you ask? Compared to Robusta beans the Arabica contains twice the natural sugars (6-8% versus 3-6%), which means Arabica is a naturally sweeter coffee bean. This doesn’t just make it sweeter but allows the more interesting aromatic compounds to develop while roasting and gives the coffee a velvety mouthfeel because of a higher level of flavour particles.
