Moka Java is an Aribica Bean, or so it says on the effing label as you can see in this photo. How I'm supposed to know what that means, I didn't effing know until I looked it up.
wikipedia.org had this to say about it:
"Coffea arabica (pronounced /əˈræbɪkə/) is a species of coffee indigenous to Ethiopia and Yemen. It is also known as the "coffee shrub of Arabia", "mountain coffee" or "arabica coffee". Coffea arabica is believed to be the first species of coffee to be cultivated, being grown in southwest Arabia for well over 1,000 years. It is considered to produce better coffee than the other major commercially grown coffee species, Coffea canephora (robusta). Arabica are white, 10-15 mm in diameter and grow in axillary clusters. The contains less caffeine than any other commercially cultivated species of coffee. Wild plants grow to between 9 and 12 m tall, and have an open branching system; the leaves are opposite, simple elliptic-ovate to oblong, 6-12 cm long and 4-8 cm broad, glossy dark green. The flowersfruit is a drupe (though commonly called a "berry") 10-15 mm in diameter, maturing bright red to purple and typically contain two seeds (the coffee 'bean')."
So THAT kinda effing explains why it just didn't do it for me. It was a weak ass coffee that smelled really good. I do have to say though, my ol' lady liked it when she ground it up real fine and brewed it a little heavy in our Mr. Coffee flat-bottom drip. And it made an effing refreshing iced coffee too.
All in all I give it a three-and-an-effing-half cups out of a possible 5.
