3.0 out of 5 stars Can't fully endorse, beware of problems, March 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Green Unroasted Coffee Bean Sampler (Grocery)
As an amateur home roaster I cannot fully recommend this product. First the good, you get some nice varieties, nothing too exotic but fine nonetheless, some are even blended for espresso. The sample packs are a bit under a lb, a decent amount for a home roaster and ideal for my behmor. You even get some bonus mugs. So far I've done some good roasts, but watch out for the blends. I've had to actually throw away two of the blends without even trying to roast them. The beans were just gnarly, especially one of the house blends, no excuse for that kind of quality control. I hope other purchasers didn't get any packages like that. I'm not saying never buy this product, but definitely beware, you can do a lot better. If you're an amateur home roaster absolutely find a local commercial roaster, perhaps one with a small coffee shop. They would be thrilled to sell you the raw beans at a decent price and suggest varieties, roasting methods.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quality control not so great., June 14, 2012

This review is from: Green Unroasted Coffee Bean Sampler (Grocery)
I'm still using the mugs, but the coffee is long gone. Some bags were ok, others were ugly beans that had holes in them! I just plain threw away some of them. I don't know how they can sell coffee like that (although coffee of that quality is in all the commercial brands). I started ordering samplers from Sweet Maria's and have been hooked ever since. Their coffee is the highest quality and only about $5 a pound when you get a sampler.

Coffee Bean Direct is more of a commercial supplier, to be fair. Sweet Maria's is better for the gourmet home roaster.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great idea!!, February 28, 2012

This review is from: Green Unroasted Coffee Bean Sampler (Grocery)
I'm a coffee lover, always have been and I love to "make" things. So when I read about homeroasting the first time I thought... 'sure I can spare some time for that from my wine making/ beer brewing/ home remodeling/ motorcycling and tournament fishing schedule'.
So where did I get: a coffee roaster, green coffee beans, and a coffee bean grinder? and... 'how would I decide what kinds to buy?
Amazon, of course! I read a bazillion reviews and settled on this Green Unroasted Coffee Bean Sampler and a Whirley-Pop popcorn popper, and I'm so glad I did. This sampler is a great way to familiarize oneself with the process of home roasting. I would have hesitated forever about buying green coffee beans in bulk. Vacillating endlessly over what regions beans are the 'best' to try when you're forced to buy minimum weights of 5 lbs or more or spend way more dollars for single pound packaging. I might have never actually gotten around to choosing based on an uninitiated wannabe home... Read more
