I roasted these coffee beans for about 20 minutes at 464F. This produced a light-medium roast. This coffee was great this way in my opinion. I did try it one time on the darker side but the flavor lacked the complexity I prefer. Overall, this coffee was great!

Was very nice. Very strong after roasted.

This green coffee from Primos is great! I have been using it for months with my SR-800 air roaster and the results are fresh, delicious espresso every day. I started with a sampler pack, but enjoyed the Caturra so much that I have come back for more!The bean quality is great. I have found only one defective bean in all the roasts I have done. I end up roasting 225g of green beans every 8-10 days to a perfect light roast. The flavors from this bean are bright and fruity with very little acidity when light roasted and extracted with a 25% flow rate for 15 seconds, followed by a 50% flow rate until complete extraction and a perfect 1:2 ratio. The long pre-fusion and slow extraction really helps to pull a lot of the delicious flavors and solids from this bean.Overall, this is a great value for the money! I was spending over $25 for a 10-12 oz bag of fresh roasted beans at local coffee shops every 2 weeks. This bean and my SR-800 are proving to be a great money saver!!

Bought for my son's new coffee roaster as a present.They roast beautifully, and make lovely coffee.We've used a medium roast (about 24 minutes at 180°C, but it varies with weight of beans); when cool we sieve to remove the chaff and then leave a day before starting to use, medium getting in a cafètiere).Great fun, lovely coffee, amazing aroma from roasting.

It is hard to write coffee beans because obviously the taste depends hugely on how you roast them. I did two roasts with these beans and both were pretty good

I am a home roaster coffee enthusiast. I purchased these fresh green coffee beans because they are the best selling unroasted coffee beans on Amazon. I roasted them on both a hot air popcorn popper as well as a commercial drum coffee roaster to see how they taste. I received exactly what was listed on this listing which described the coffee as fresh, Nicaraguan coffee. The tasting notes in the description were correct.Roasting The CoffeeThis coffee is very forgiving when it comes to roasting it perfectly. Whether you roast this on a hot air popcorn popper, a sheet pan in your oven or a commercial drum coffee roaster like I did, the results were good. On the hot air popper, the beans roast fairly consistent. I didn't experience uneven roasts, indicating that the green coffee were processed properly and their harvesting practices are consistent. The drum roaster I have roasts over a pound of coffee at a time. First crack was reached at 386 degrees which is consistent with many specialty coffees.Tasting the CoffeeThe tasting notes on the hot air popcorn popper were more muted than the drum roaster which is expected. Regardless, tasting notes were similar, just on a different level. Myself, along with a few other family members had a cupping where we discussed the coffee and tasting notes along with the overall consensus.Nutty, earthy, chocolatey, creamy, gentle lemonade acidity, honeysuckle wildflower sweetness with a dirty finish. This is not a complex coffee, but would please many people who would drink this as their morning cup of coffee. Even roasted light, the average coffee drinker wouldn't be be bothered by the light acidity. These are quality fresh green coffee beans that are specialty grade will produce a decent cup of coffee.I made a video of me roasting this coffee on both a popcorn popper as well as the drum roaster at the Virtual Coffee Lab. It also includes the actual tasting I did with my family which you might find helpful. The coffee smelled fresh and was enjoyable to roast and drink. I do recommend this coffee.

I think this is one of the best products available on amazon. I am usually disappointed with any product on this site- but these green coffee beans gave me hope! I am starting a micro-roastery and this was my first bag of beans to practice on- just about to buy my second bag... will be using these beans for cuppings soon..

I bought a 3 pound pack for the first time. I'm a first time home roaster. Before this I'd buy a locally roasted single origin coffee from Matchstick Coffee Roasters or other small batch roasters from the west coast. I don't like burnt coffee. I really enjoy these beans for a few reasons, one of which is the amount of caffeine I get. I no longer have to pour a 16oz cup to feel it. I can pour a 10oz and be wired up for a good while. I also enjoy the chocolaty notes in this coffee. I'd purchase this again.

I've always been a coffee lover. Being of spanish descent, having a good strong cup of coffee is of utmost importance. I grew up on Cafè Bustello and making coffee in the sock (coffee grinds in a sock that you pour boiling hot water over and let steep in a pot.) Much of the flavor derived from the coffee came from re-using the sock / coffee ground method over and over. As I got older, I upgraded to whole bean coffee and a grinder to grind myself. I threw away the sock method of brewing and used a simple pour over instead. As the flavors in coffee became more succinct and aromatic, I continued to explore new and innovative ways to make coffee.Recently I stumbled upon an article that talked about saving money by buying green coffee beans. It piqued my interest and I found I could roast my own coffee without having to invest in expensive gadgets. I did a quick search on Amazon for "green coffee beans" and came across all the great reviews that Primos Coffee Co. had. I decided to make the jump and quickly bought 3 lbs of green coffee beans. When the beans arrived I used a stainless steel pot to roast them. I waited 24 hours before grinding them and then quickly made myself a cup of coffee. I became hooked! I have never tasted such a rich and aromatic cup of HOME MADE coffee!! Who knew you could get coffee house style coffee at home and for a fraction of the cost. I would highly recommend these beans to anyone who is looking to brew coffee at home.There is a learning curve to roasting and especially if your looking to roast via the stove top method. Personally, I didn't want to spend money on a hot air popcorn popper because my kitchen is small and cupboard space is valuable real estate. Instead, I poured over article after article that discussed using a heavy stainless steel pot to roast green coffee beans. It was very challenging and because I like my coffee beans on the dark side, there's a fine line between dark / oily dark / and the dreaded burnt bean. Make sure you get the pot nice and toasty before pouring 1 cup of green coffee beans in. Once the beans are in the pot begin stirring with a wooden spatula and don't stop! Train your ear to listen carefully for that first and second crack. Once you get to second crack, the beans seem to come alive and it sounds like bacon sizzling on a frying pan. Throughout the entire process the key is to constantly stir the beans with a wooden spatula AS WELL AS shake the pot back and forth. This helps the beans get an even roast between them. I've experimented with just stirring and only shaking and found that a combination of the 2 motions help even out the roast of the beans. Otherwise, you'll have both dark-dark- roasted beans and chocolatey caramel colored beans in the same roast. Once the beans come to a preferred roast, quickly whisk them out of the pot and into a mesh strainer. If you live in the northeast, take your beans outside and whisk them in the chilly winter air to cool. It also helps get the chaff off the bean without having your kitchen look like a chocolate feather contest gone wild. After the beans cool, place them in a glass jar and seal. I've found that the flavor becomes richer the longer you let the beans rest. 3 day "old" beans are a perfect rich cup of coffee for me whereas next day or 2 day old beans have a mild flavor. 1 cup of green coffee beans yields me 5 days worth of coffee.
