Americans mostly drink Arábica beans. The only Robusta coffee out here is in Vietnamese style coffee filled with a ton of condensed milk.
some of the cheap stuff like maxwell house is a mix of arabica and robusto.
Nonsense. Dunkin donuts, every office coffee maker, and most fast food coffee is robusta. That's why people kill the taste with sugar and fat.
No?

It's burnt to hell. That's why it's like that. The cultivar doesn't matter at that point. You could start with the best beans and it'd still be shit roasted like that.
The cultivar matters, but only when it's roasted well. These huge coffee companies burn the coffee to ensure consistency. It doesn't matter what they started with.
I feel like you might not actually know that much about coffee. You've heard two names and that one is supposed to be better (it isn't, just different, and useful in different circumstances). You then stopped learning and think you know everything.
