  About Coffea
Coffea arabica is the original commercial species of coffee, the one that Kaldi's tiresomely celebrated goats ate, the species that first sold human beings on the pleasures of the cup.
Coffea Robusta tend to be a hardier, more disease-resistant bean which are less expensive to maintain and produce a higher yield than other commercial beans.
Coffea Canephora which is the scientific name of the robusta plant, is in no way “worse” than Coffea Arabica.

 Process for purifying an .alpha.-D-galactosidase isozyme from Coffea beans - Patent 5512471
A Coffea canephora-D-galactosidase isozyme is purified by extracting a supernatant from Coffea beans containing the isozyme, extracting tannin from the supernatant, and isolating the isozyme.
Preferrably, the supernatant is extracted by exposing the supernatant to insoluble polyvinylpolypyrrolidone in an amount sufficient to remove the tannin from the supernatant by forming hydrogen bonds with the tannin.
The present invention provides a process for purifying Coffea canephora.alpha.-D-galactosidase enzyme by the general steps of extracting a supernatant from Coffea beans containing the isozyme, extracting tannin from the supernatant, and isolating the purified isozyme.

 TINY JOY NOV-DEC 99
Arabica is the only species (out of 600 or so) in the genus Coffea to be autogamous, meaning that it can fertilize itself with its own pollen resulting in distinct cultivars with distinct cup qualities.
Also interesting to note is that wild coffea varieties (which would make awful coffee too) have 22 chromosomes, Canephora has 22, but some time long ago Arabica was formed naturally in the Harar region of Ethiopia by the cross of 2 wild coffee species followed by a spontaneous natural duplication of its chromosomes to 44.
All this is to say that Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora are two very different plants.
