Recently I have been discussing fine robusta as a real category for serious farms with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole workflow. I am not looking for textbook reply. I want to know whether fine robusta as a real category for serious farms gives meaningful difference once you repeat it over many cycles.
Would you keep fine robusta as a real category for serious farms in your normal process, or only for specific coffees and situations?

From my side this helped only on certain coffees, not on every lot. When the coffee is already forgiving, fine robusta as a real category for serious farms does not change much. On difficult lots the effect is clearer.

What helped me most was keeping short notes each time. Without notes, discussion about fine robusta as a real category for serious farms becomes memory battle and not real evaluation.

I think the bigger issue is not fine robusta as a real category for serious farms itself but whether your baseline is stable. If baseline keeps moving, then every experiment around it gives mixed signal.
