Why Isn't Robusta Coffee More Popular?

Robusta has less sugar and fats, making it less palatable. The market demand has been much lower than arabica.

However Robusta coffee has become more popular due to an extensive amount of highly-caffeinated coffees (a blend of robusta and arabica). These coffees have extremely high amounts of caffeine in them.
