Roast Your Own Coffee at Home

Roasting your own coffee at home is easy - all you need is some some unroasted green coffee beans and a heat source. Click here to see our collection of Organic, Shade Grown, Fair Trade and Bird Friendly™ and Rainforest Alliance certified beans.

The heat source can be a pop corn popper, an oven, a commercial home roaster, and recently people have used heat guns. We sell the Freshroast Plus 8 home roaster because it is affordable, easy to use, and reliably produces great coffee. See here for details.

Roasting coffee at home has many benefits. You can indulge in a wide variety freshly roasted coffees, and you can explore the effects of different roast styles on the coffees' flavours. You can even experiment with your own blends, different grinding and brewing methods. The combinations are endless, each resulting in perceivable differences in the cup.

Roasting at home can also save you money. Green coffee costs much less than roasted coffee and because the green beans will keep for 18 months or more without loss of quality, you can order large quantities.

We only sell the highest quality beans for roasting at home - the same ones that our Roastmaster uses. The selection we list on our site is currently have available.

Most of our green bean orders ship the same day, so you won't be waiting long!
