Green Coffee Beans

Written by Karen Bates (last updated June 4, 2021)

When it comes to coffee, everyone has a personal preference. Some people prefer a specific flavor of coffee, and some like a particular roast. With so many coffee options out there, however, sticking to the same type of coffee every time you brew means you could be missing out. When you look over your options at the store, the coffee selection can seem overwhelming. Some shops have entire aisles dedicated to various kinds of coffee beans! So if you are searching for something a little different, making the choice can be difficult.

For those seeking out a truly unique and interesting coffee experience, they might want to consider using green coffee beans. Although it sounds strange, these are simply coffee beans that have not been roasted before you get them. Instead, you roast these beans yourself at home whenever you want. While most coffee beans purchased at the store go stale and lose some of their delicious taste over days and weeks, green coffee beans will remain fresh for a long time. You can roast them when you are ready to use them, and they will taste fresher than store-bought beans.

If you do get green coffee beans, you must remember that they will need to be roasted before using since green coffee beans will produce coffee that is practically undrinkable. This means that you will have to acquire the equipment needed for the roasting process. There are a few options you can choose from to roast your green coffee beans. One of the easiest is to just get a roaster. These machines are made specifically for home coffee bean roasting and can make the task easier for you, especially if you haven't done it before.

Of course, roasting machines are not always cheap and you might want to take a different route. For instance, you can also try to roast the beans using a popcorn popper over flame or even with a frying pan. These methods can require a fair amount of practice before the beans turn out how you want them. Be sure to research the different methods before you try them out yourself.

Green coffee beans can add something new and fun to your coffee routine. You might be surprised by how the taste of home-roasted green coffee beans differs from beans that are already roasted. Consider trying these beans and roasting your own coffee at home for the freshest, most delicious coffee taste.
