My mom drinks turkish coffee from 100% robusta beans

Is that hard core or what? She has these really good robusta beans from Uganda and in the morning she likes it with a lot of milk and recently she made turkish coffee with only those beans. She said it was really good. i thought it sounded like a tough cup to drink.

That is truly Hardcore......Respect

Imagine the caffine hit from that one...YIKES!

Eventually, when my Gaggia is working again, I'll try this lovely "South Italian Blend" again, which is 100% Robusta with a WOW taste. You don't actually notice the caffeine because of the taste. Just after the second or third double you get a little shaky.
That reminds me of this morning: I didn't drink coffee for two days because of my stomach, and got me a double (30 or so % robusta) for breakfast. I was shivering for at least two hours after that
