The Mild Roast, Medium Roast and Decaffeinated are 100% Arabica beans.
The Dark Roast HAS some Robusta, but the origin isn't given.

And what is the source of your statement that it contains some instant
coffee? According to Philips, "The frothy coffee layer on top is a
result of the low pressure brewing method." They explicitly state that
"The SENSEO coffee is not the same as an espresso. Espresso is a strong
coffee brewed by quickly forcing hot water through darkly roasted,
finely ground, coffee beans."
