Breaking New Grounds: Quantifying Arabica/Robusta Proportions in Roasted Coffee Blends

Coffee suppliers occasionally blend Arabica and Robusta to achieve specific taste profiles and manage costs. However, verifying these blend proportions in roasted and ground coffee presents significant challenges for buyers. Roasted coffee’s dark appearance makes visual assessment difficult, while existing testing methods are too slow or costly for routine quality control. Coffee buyers need faster, more reliable ways to verify that incoming blends match specifications, especially when purchasing decisions involve large volumes and tight margins.

In this white paper, we introduce ProfilePrint’s v5.0 analyser, Orca. Orca extends scanning capabilities, enabling precise blend verification even in processed coffee, demonstrating:

  • Verification of Arabica percentages in coffee blends with less than 5% error, enabling reliable verification of supplier claims

  • Reliable blend composition analysis across diverse coffee origins and processing methods, ensuring consistent results regardless of supplier source

  • Immediate on-site verification allowing quality teams to make accept/reject decisions quickly and confidently

ProfilePrint helps coffee buyers maintain flavour consistency and supports better purchasing decisions throughout the coffee supply chain.
