There are two, let's say, views of coffee.
There are those who like the taste of coffee, as a beverage.
And there are those who look to the caffeine in coffee to give them, let's say, a boost in the morning.
And, not surprisingly, there are two types of coffees, each of which appeals to one of those two tastes.
Arabica coffee.
Robusta coffee.
The big issue is that caffeine is a very bitter tasting substance. So anything with a lot of caffeine tends to be bitter.

What affects the caffeine content?
Several factors affect the caffeine content of a cup of coffee. One of the main factors is the type of coffee bean. There are many different species of coffee plants, and coffee beans from different plants vary in their caffeine content.
The two most popular species of plant for producing coffee beans are:
- - - Coffea arabica, which people commonly refer to as Arabica
- - - Coffea canephora, which most people know as Robusta
According to a 2016 study, Robusta coffee beans typically contain around twice as much caffeine as Arabica beans. ...
So...
Long story short...
The coffee you typically buy in the supermarket, it is made from robusta coffee beans because that coffee is typically used to give a ~boost~ in the morning.
While the coffee you drink at a coffee shop is usually arabica because you want to pay for something that tastes good.
YMMV and all that...
