Brazil Green Unroasted Coffee Beans 2 Pounds

I am new to roasting and I use my oven. Theraw beans are small and have a sweet chocolatey smell that Is intriguing. I am not able to roast them to an even color, though I am trying for a lighter medium roast. I make the coffee usually in a moka pot. I really like the coffee. It is a complex taste and quite addictive. A little fruity and acidic in a good way. I do add cream and a little sugar. I plan to reorder.

Home Roaster for 5+ years. OK Costa Rican coffee but not quite as good as from better known suppliers. Took it to 425 F for 15 min to attain medium roast / brown with SR800 air roaster. As a stand-alone ... flat. Blended with 50% Columbian (same roasting profile) ... and considerably better. Beans appearance themselves kind of muttled, not especially clear of what looks like could be processing residue. This could be result of dry / honey process versus washed. (But I don't know for sure and Seller doesn't indicate in ad.) Also, no expiration or harvest dates on bag. Package is foil-backed and sealed well.New Roasting Profile: using SR800 air roaster: take Costa Rica to 435 - 440 F and hold temp for about 14 minutes and then cool. Pretty good. Now for final coffee blend: 2 X of Costa Rica + 1 X Ethopia @ 435 F (14 min) + 1 X Columbia @ 425 F (14 min). Watch time, color, and temp taking to medium brown City Roast. Most excellent. Smooth, good flavor, no biting after taste. Enjoy !

I decided to try my hand at cold brew coffee for all the benefits and just to give it a go. These beans were a very good choice. They roasted well in my Air Fryer with the small initial batches I tried (about 1 1/2 ounces), first for 12 minutes then 20 @400 degrees in a rotating drum. As I'm still experimenting, I used a course grind which allowed the wonderful flavor of these beans to fully come through at either setting. These unroasted beans made a brew that tasted great & gave me personally, no stomach discomfort at all the way store bought pre-ground did. I also tried a larger batch roasting them in an oven with equally satisfying results.

I am new to bean roasting, this is my second bean sample. The previous was a Mexican bean, I found it ok but weak. I bought this one based on the reviews. I agree, this is some amazing coffee. It's also good cold, and reheated in a microwave. This batch was 3/4 cup, roasted in cast iron, stirred constantly with a wire whip. Heat setting was slightly cooler than for a steak. Time was 13 minutes in preheated pan. Almost every bean popped loudly, given enough time. If it seemed too hot, I backed the heat down to the six o'clock setting for a minute. Once it cooled off, heat was turned back up. There was some chaff, most of which was completely charred by the end. When done it was sifted in a metal colander, and I fanned it by hand to speed cooling. I would rate this as a medium-dark roast. It has now been 24 hours, the aroma is the best I've ever smelled, bar none. A fascinating, complex, indescribable sensation. It seems to change and draw you in. The beans are beginning to ooze oil droplets. I am going to give it 2 more days, then grind half of it. The remaining sample will age a full 6 days. Am looking forward to the results. Get this coffee, you already have all the gear needed to fire it up like a pro.

I hadn't roasted my own coffee for several years since my old roasters died. Bought a new roaster and 3 different types of single origin beans. This one was far superior. I prefer medium roasts to med-light as I like to tastes the flavors of the coffee. These beans are very tasty, well balanced... a pleasure to drink.

I'm new to roasting coffee, so take this with a grain of salt. For the most part I'm satisfied with the beans — they appear fresh, were relatively easy to work with, and produced a good cup of coffee. A few things though:• They say there's no (or next to no) chaff. My beans produced a fair amount of chaff — so I don't know how others are roasting their beans without producing any chaff. It's not a big deal or a deal-breaker, it just means that I have to take some extra time to blow out the chaff from my colander while cooling off the beans.• I get why they sell them in one or two pounds bags, but quite frankly for those of us who aren't familiar with the varieties available and how they're going to actually taste, it would be nice to see these being sold in half- or quarter-pound sample packs, too. It'd allow us to get to know all of the different options with less commitment.• I found this particular variety a bit tough to get an even roast out of. I use a high-efficiency, 72,000 BTU propane burner (with VERY even heat distribution), a large stainless steel mixing bowl, and a wooden spoon for stirring — and with constant stirring, I get a relatively even heat distribution in the bowl. But even with that, I found it difficult to get an even roast with this and the other two varieties I've tried. And until I have had enough time at this, for now I'll chalk it up to the roaster and roasting method, not the beans.• As a newer roaster, it'd be helpful to have suggested roast levels for the different types of beans as well as maybe flavor profiles for light, medium, and dark roasts from that same bean.All in all, I'm satisfied with the product, but when you're trying to get to know the various options, one pound bags (and up) are too much of a commitment when trying to find a bean that you'll really enjoy.
