Coffees Recommended for Home Roasters

Green coffee beans are raw, unroasted beans ready for you to roast at home. Same specialty-grade, single-origin lots we roast in our shop, just without the roast. You control the profile.

Home roasting doesn't require much. A popcorn popper, a Whirley Pop, a small drum roaster, even a cast iron pan on the stove. The beans we carry for home roasting are selected for forgiving roast profiles, meaning they develop sweetness easily and don't punish you for being 30 seconds off. If you're new to it, start with a washed Central American lot. They're the most predictable and the easiest to learn on.

Green beans also store longer than roasted coffee. Buying green means you can roast fresh whenever you want, even weeks or months after purchase.

Our current green coffee selection includes washed lots from Florencio Villatoro and Rodin Villatoro in Guatemala, Paola and Carlos Trujillo's washed pink bourbon and competition Wush Wush from Colombia, Morkata Gata's washed Ethiopian heirloom, and decaf options from both Chiapas and Huila producers. We also carry Sambewe AMCOS's washed bourbon and heirloom from Tanzania and Rungeto Farmers Coop's washed peaberry from Kenya.
