<p>You could try to find Vietnamese coffee in Turkey. Many kinds have high caffeine content. If you find them, you could get a <a href="https://vietbeans.de/produkt/vietnamesischer-kaffeefilter-cafe-phin-handfilter-aus-vietnam/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">phin</a> for the preparation. Then these coffees will test best.</p>

<p>How about Taft coffee? They are known for their high caffeine levels. You can order online.</p>
<p>Just checked <a href="https://www.taftcoffee.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">their website here</a>, they claim to have 23.2 g caffeine per 1 kg of coffee. Actually I also buy Taft Coffee. I am not really considerate about caffeine levels yet it tastes really good.</p>

Can you elaborate a bit more to support that they have high caffeine levels? Are you affiliated with this brand?

<p>I live in Istanbul, I love espresso, but most espresso here is 100% Arabica. Robusta coffee is hard to find.
What alternative coffee do you recommend to get the right caffeine during the day?</p>

Have you tried Turkish coffee? In my experience it packs more of a punch than a typical latte (which I know isn't a perfect comparison.)

I do not like the taste of Turkish coffee and it does not give me the pleasure I have to drink espresso coffee, here Starbucks also serves 100% Arabica.
I also saw all the physical and online markets, only one of which had 40% Robusta

A possible different approach. Getting the perfect flavor is hard enough. The more constraints and tangential variables you introduce, the harder it is to produce a desired flavor profile.

Robusta has more caffeine, but it also has a different flavor. There are also some Arabica varieties with more caffeine.

How about Taft coffee? They are known for their high caffeine levels. You can order online.

Just checked [their website here](https://www.taftcoffee.com/), they claim to have 23.2 g caffeine per 1 kg of coffee. Actually I also buy Taft Coffee. I am not really considerate about caffeine levels yet it tastes really good.
