4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality beans.
This is the first time roasting my own beans and I'll admit I burnt a few on my first go as the picture shows😩I did them in a cast iron pan on my gas hob and maybe had the heat a little to high.I felt doing them like this was easier then I could move them around more instead of them just lay on a baking tray.The trick is once you hear the first cracks of the beans you need to really lower the heat or turn it off completely as the heat of the pan still roast them.The second batch turned out better and actually tasted really nice.Maybe not as strong as I like but with coffee beans it's all trial and error and personal preference.Yes the easiest way would be to get a coffee bean roasting machine but that's just more expense.While I did get a decent result second time round and the beans are nice I think personally I will stick to buying already roasted beans to put in my coffee grinder.For £25 it's a bit expensive to end up wasting the beans.Unless you know what your doing then I'd say the price is probably about right for the quality of the beans.Recommended? Yes for people who know what there doing, maybe not so much if your new to roasting 🤔
5.0 out of 5 stars Great
Excellent coffee beans that taste very nice
3.0 out of 5 stars An Experiment of sorts...
Well I confess that this ended up being more than I bargained for. When I ordered these green coffee beans little did I know what I was getting myself in for.Believe it or not - in fact you SHOULD believe this because it makes me look like a pilchard, and why would I write something down and publish it on the internet if it makes me look like a pilchard if it wasn't true? Well, when I ordered these I just thought "green coffee beans" where like a new or different varietal of beans I had never heard of before. I mean, Green Tea is a thing so why not green coffee? Hey, if you're rolling your eyes at me right now...you live and learn, OK? I didn't know a thing and now I know a thing.So it turns out, as you may know yourself, that green beans do not make green coffee. They are like green bananas in a way which is that they are not quite ready for consumption just yet. What you have to do is roast them yourself! In the oven! I'm not kidding!When I opened the resealable bag the beans did not smell of anything really. I was expecting more of an aroma. I looked up instructions online vis-à-vis roasting coffee beans and laid out my beans on the oven tray and roasted them for twenty minutes. Now the smelled of something - but it was more like flapjacks than coffee to my sense of smell. However once the beans were ready I put them in the grinder. Now I could get a nice coffee smell from them. It took a while but I finally got my coffee aroma!As for the coffee drink itself...the flavour was mild and nothing particularly stood out to me. It was a bit "much ado about nothing". Overall I did quite enjoy the process and at least one positive thing has come out of it in that I now know that green coffee beans don't make green tea (hey - I maintain that's an easy mistake to make!) but honestly the finished article was a little underwhelming and I'm left questioning if the whole thing was worth it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good for experimenting
The green coffee beans had a certain appeal in terms of home roasting, offering a more hands-on experience. When I roasted them, I found the aroma developing nicely. It took a couple of batches to get the timing just right, but once I dialed it in, the result was decent. The flavor leaned towards earthy, with subtle floral notes, but not quite as rich as expected. It did require some effort to manage the roast properly. If you enjoy the process of roasting your own beans and experimenting, these are worth trying, though the learning curve is noticeable. I enjoyed the freshness but found the overall taste to be a bit more delicate than I was hoping for.
5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughts before roasting
The media could not be loaded. We're big coffee drinkers in our house, and I've never thought to try my hand at roasting my own beans. To be honest, with whatever spare time I have it's just never crossed my mind to use it roasting coffee beans, haha!But there is a first time for everything. The beans come well packaged in a bag that seems to keep them fresh and safe (ie from going mouldy etc). When you buy a bag of roasted beans you can usually smell the bag and get a scent for them but there is no smell from the bag, which I assume is to be expected because they are green.I'll update my listing with photos/video and thoughts after roasting and trying.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee after a lot of experimenting with roasting methods
This is a 434g bag of green unroasted coffee beans from Ethiopia. I have no prior experience of roasting my own beans, so I did what any self-respecting novice would do & watched a few you tube videos.I tried 2 different methods – the air fryer on ‘crispy’ setting (240C), and the oven on ‘bread’ setting (230C).My first small sample batch in the air fryer didn’t go so well – I was worried about burning them so I didn’t roast them long enough and the resulting coffee from what I ground was pale and deeply unimpressive. Also – the beans were very difficult to grind as they were still too hard. The second batch was much better as I roasted for longer and spent a good deal of time getting rid of all the ‘chaff’ (by pouring from sieve to sieve outside & letting the wind take the chaff).This second batch was easier to grind, had a much richer aroma and gave a decent cup of coffee. Now I knew what colour of bean I was aiming for, I did the rest on a baking sheet in my main oven (stirring frequently). This has proved an interesting experiment, but not one that has convinced me to continue roasting my own beans.There is no price currently showing so I cannot comment on the value for money, but I wouldn’t pay any more than a standard bag of beans as it wouldn’t be worth it for me.
Pricey
Even with the coupon these coffee beans are very expensive. You’re buying almost a whole pound, but they are just dried green coffee beans. You can use them green, but most people don’t drink their coffee for the grassy/citrusy flavor, it’s all about the roast. Of course you can roast and grind these to your liking, but you can also go to your local roasters (if you are fortunate to live near one), request the roast and grind you want, and pay a fraction of this price. For money/time investment, these are not worth it to me.
Makes tasty coffee but up to your skill (and equipment) level
I think I did a decent roast on the stovetop following some online guides, and possibly the effort and anticipation made the result taste better than it actually was! But the coffee beans turned out pretty tasty, not very bitter, and there's something to be said about the fragrance of a fresh roast.But I'm not sure if the home-roast process is for me long term, a bit too much time and effort. That's not a criticism of the beans and doesn't count towards the review, but just an FYI if you haven't done bean roasting yourself before.
Still a work in process
Girlfriend loves coffee. The science of how changing the temperature of the water actually makes the same coffee ground taste different.She has been experimenting with small batches for pour over experience. toasting or roasting the beans has been challenging.It reminds her of making old fashion popcorn where you put the kernels in a pot over heat and you had to keep shaking the pot/pan to not burn the popcorn kernels. Some of her coffee has been very tasty and some, well, it is a work in process.This was a good gift for her as she now is becoming interested in making her own coffee blends.If you never done this, this is a good start in learning how to roast your own coffee blend.
A nice rich taste
Making this coffee has been an experience. I haven't roasted coffee beans before, but I was interested in the experience. I used the oven for roasting, since I lacked any fancy coffee equiptment.The smell of fresh coffee is a delight is a delight. The flavor was rich yet smooth. I feel this is a quality coffee. It takes some more effort than normal to make, but it's a great treat.
Bold After Roasting
These are un-roasted so if you want to make some coffee you'll have to roast these to your liking.Quality:After roasting this, the flavor was actually pretty strong. I would say that these ranged between medium and strong scent and flavor in coffee. I really like how tasty these were. This is the first time that I roasted coffee so I was pretty happy how it turned out.Overall, a longer process but worth it in the end.
