Good product

These are great unroasted coffee beans that taste great are supporting a good cause and add a new level of customisation to your coffee experience. So the big thing with these is that they are unroasted and that is something I hadn’t tried before, so thought I would give them a go. So the method I chose to roast them was to spread them out on a baking tray and put them in the oven at 250c until they are down, I found this method online and there are lots of alternatives,l. I burnt the first batch I tried, due to trying to tell the level of roasting by looking through the oven door, but this is very difficult. With the second batch I left them in the oven for 9 minutes and this gave me a medium - dark roast, I think my next batch I will try taking out at 8 minutes to compare. But the taste of them is great, it is very smooth, even for a darker roast.

Roast them, and your house will smell incredible. Like every gorgeous little coffee shop you've ever wandered into. And once you grind the beans and taste them, it's so different to instant... it doesn't have any of that bitterness - it's just rich, and dark, and absolutely gorgeous. Am a genuine convert. It takes a little time, absolutely, but if you love coffee, and you like the idea fresh (like, fresh fresh) coffee in the morning, you can't do better than this.

Brown Bear doesn’t just make excellent coffee it is also a company with a big heart who give 5% of all their profits to help save bears. I much prefer getting green coffee beans, roasting my own coffee gives the freshest, tastiest coffee ever, you really do notice the difference, plus it makes my house smell amazing. When medium roasted these beans give a lovely full flavoured coffee with a fruity refreshing background. It is a “moreish” coffee that means one cup isn’t enough, especially in the morning. I drink mine either black or black with just a touch of milk. I really like this coffee and would get it again.

but the time consuming and energy waste to process few grams of coffee up to someone's high conneseur expectations is a bad calculation. That's just my opinion. Product wise the quality of the coffee grain beans pre and past process seems is more than promising and being not much of a challenge the hit the note spec.... except beans could be more fresh-er . Other than that is all fine. Can recommend.

I've never roasted my own beans before so when the opportunity arose, I thought why not give it a go. There are no roasting instructions on the packaging which is a shame for us beginners so I had to research on the internet. I also don't have a proper bean roaster or a popcorn maker (apparently you can use those), so it was done in a metal steamer and in the oven at 220 Celsius for around 20 minutes. I've included a few photos as well as a little video of how I got on which I hope you find helpful, plus you can see the end result! The smell from roasting is really pleasant and slowly built up throughout the roasting time, before my whole house smelt like an industrial coffee roasters. Once the beans were roasted and ready, I put them in our coffee machine and made a double espresso to taste. The results were really good and the taste superb. One downside to all of this though is the cost. £7.49 for a 227g bag is expensive when you can get quality roasted beans for about half that price. I thought one of the benefits of roasting at home was that the cost should be reduced as the manufacturer doesn't have to pay for roasting! To conclude then, does roasting at home make for a better tasting coffee and is it worth the effort? For me, probably not. Did I have good fun giving it a go though? Yes, I did. I really enjoyed the coffee at the end and I'll be showing my kids how to roast with the remaining half a bag, but it was quite an effort to do without the proper roasting kit and there was always the fear I would mess things up and burn the beans. I think if there was a noticeable price difference then this could be a bigger incentive to roast at home, but although the resulting coffee is delicious, I think I'll still be sticking to pre-roasted beans for the most part.
