Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Green Unroasted Coffee Beans 1 Pound

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.

Rating a coffee in some ways is like rating a flower: if you like flowers they are all pretty nice, just some you like better than others. I liked this coffee just fine! It's taken me a while to post a review because it took a while to learn to roast. I tried the air popper method and 'twas a total bust for me. Not that the popper is a bad method, just didn't work for me. I went pioneer style and pulled out my cast iron skillet. That's when things got fun!The first two roasts I aimed for and got a gorgeous city roast. Alas the flavor was vauguely grassy. Not unpleasant, just not what I wanted. Finally, grabbing courage against fear of burning coffee and getting that familiar sb over-cooked flavor, I left beans in long enough to achieve a dark roast. Cue the angelic choir..! Beans were luscious deep brown (see photo) and the aroma was intoxicating!FYI, I prefer cooked coffee aka no pour over, no pour through, straight up cooked for 1-2 minutes, so take that into consideration as you eval this coffee. I roasted, rested and prepped beans and had an excellent cup of coffee! It was a pure, rich, smooth coffee flavor with no hint of bitterness. Yes, yes, yes! Totally worth the effort. One warning though, these beans are ca-ca-ca-caffeinated!! I almost busted out a moonwalk, kick-ball-chain, finish with a ninja turtle flair right there in the kitchen after a half-cup of that dark brew. Yessir, that's a fine coffee. I do recommend.

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.

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 have never roasted my own coffee beans and decided to give this brand a try and I am very happy to say that the coffee tasted very pleasant. I chose to roast the beans only to the light roast stage. It was smooth with a pleasant taste; the amount you get is good for the price and I look forward to purchasing again ☕️❤️

I had heard a lot about this bean and the flavor profiles related to it. I followed a well known roasterie’s suggested roast for it and I thought it turned out fine. Upon brewing, i found this bean to be very bright (thats a good thing), and vibrant. I also found the Floral notes that everyone kept talking about in the forums. This coffee is so unique and different, that it is almost like a tea (that’s my wife’s assessment). I enjoyed about two days of it before i had to roast a different batch of beans. I will come back to it this weekend and see if it has settled down, but if you like the Unexpected and Uniqueness that this will bring... then, it’s Your cup of Tea (pun intended).

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 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.
