I have a mate who weighs about 20 stone and he can drink as much coffee as he likes without any noticeable effect.

I drink a lot of drip coffee and espresso. The caffeine definitely hits me, it just takes a while. I am trying to scale back though. For a while, I was really going overboard.

Robusta usually has a stronger flavor, but a longer roast on Arabica will produce the profile you have.

I'm pretty sure this is an arabica/robusta blend.
