Best Unroasted Coffee Beans of 2026

"As a longtime coffee enthusiast, I was amazed at how affordable and high-quality these green beans are. Roasting them myself at home with just a stainless steel pan gave me a cup of coffee that's rich, aromatic, and truly cafe-level. The process is simple, cost-effective, and lets me tailor the roast to my taste—I highly recommend these for anyone wanting to brew at home."

"I tried both the Caturra and Parainema varieties and found the beans to be of excellent quality, with hardly any defects. While the Caturra impressed me at nearly any roast, the Parainema's overly acidic finish was a challenge, though the flavor and mouthfeel were very smooth. I'm keen to experiment further with different roasting and brewing methods to see if I can tone down the acidity."

"These beans roasted evenly and filled my kitchen with an incredible aroma. Even as a new roaster, I was able to achieve a great medium roast that made for delicious coffee with a deep, pleasant flavor. The process was a lot of fun and I loved how fresh and flavorful the end result was."

"I've roasted the Peru, Guatemalan, and Monsoon Malabar beans, and each offers a distinct and satisfying flavor. Using a convection oven at home, I found the process straightforward and the results impressive. The Peru is lighter and benefits from some aging, while the Guatemalan and Monsoon Malabar deliver deeper, richer notes. Although I'm no expert at picking out subtle profiles, these all taste great to me. For first-time roasters, just be aware of the smoke and look up good tutorials—the experience is rewarding and fun."

"After sampling nearly every unroasted coffee offered by this company, I can say these are my absolute favorite beans—smooth, never too bold, and always fresh. Roasting and grinding them at home has transformed my coffee routine; the aroma and flavor are unbeatable. Doing the roasting outdoors helps with the chaff and off-gas, making the process even easier. I highly recommend learning to roast your own—it’s truly worth it!"

"As a home roaster who prefers bold, low-acidity coffee, the Indian Monsoon Malabar truly stands out. The monsooning process gives these beans a distinct, earthy, and mellow profile with a creamy texture. They’re especially forgiving at medium to dark roasts and perform well in espresso. The beans always arrive fresh and clean, with very few defects. If you want something different in your roasting lineup, this is a fantastic choice."

"I found the delivery to be very quick, and the beans were of good quality overall. There were some differences in bean size, which made the roast a bit uneven, but the flavor was still excellent."

"As someone who loves to experiment, I enjoyed using this product—it's a fun way to learn roasting. I was able to get what I needed quickly, and the delivery was timely."

"I had an issue with two bags in my starter pack—the Indian Monsoon and Sumantra beans were browner than expected and didn't taste great to me. However, customer service was outstanding; they went above and beyond to make it right and sent replacements. That level of service made me increase my rating."

"As a home roaster, I was delighted by the medium roast and rich aroma these beans produced, even with just an oven. The results were great both with the oven and my popcorn popper—comparable to a commercial roaster. I appreciated the well-packaged and quickly delivered beans, and my family even commented on the sweet aftertaste!"

"I’m a coffee enthusiast living in a small town, so fresh roasted coffee is a must for me. These beans had a nice body and earthy Sumatran flavor when roasted to city plus or full city. I found the beans easy to roast with consistent results, and they worked well across espresso, moka pot, and French press. I'll definitely buy again."

"Trying home roasting for the first time, I found the beans to be of excellent quality with no defects. The convenience of Amazon Prime shipping made it worthwhile, even though the labeling could be improved. Overall, it was a fun and rewarding experience that produced a fine cup of coffee."

"As someone who enjoys roasting at home, I found these beans to be exceptionally fresh and clean.

"Being fairly new to home roasting, I appreciate that these beans are tolerant and easy to work with, especially using my hot air popper. They deliver an even roast with little chaff and the coffee has a robust, fruity depth that stands out from other origins. They’ve become my go-to, and every friend who’s tried it has loved the taste!"

"When I received my order, I noticed the beans were well-packaged and very clean. Roasting was a breeze, and the flavor was wonderful—one of the freshest batches I’ve experienced. If you want high-quality, well-sourced beans, these are a great choice!"

"I've been using these beans to practice roasting with my FreshRoast SR540, and they've been perfect for experimenting with different roast levels and setups. After letting the beans rest for a couple of days, I get a cup that's aromatic, slightly sweet, and never sour. Now, I always order the larger bags for more consistency and fun. Best cup of coffee ever."

"As a first-time home roaster, I found these beans to be very mild and smooth, especially when I roast them for espresso. The flavor is chocolatey and never overpowering. While I did encounter a small pebble and some variation in bean size toward the end of the bag, it wasn't a big deal, and I'd still buy these again."

"I was hesitant about ordering green coffee online but was very impressed with this purchase. The beans roast evenly and work well for a range of roast levels, though I prefer them at medium-dark. The value for the bulk size is great, and I've had almost no issues with debris or defects."

"As someone new to coffee roasting, I was immediately impressed by how smooth and mellow these beans taste—they’re not overly acidic, which is exactly what I enjoy in a light roast. I also noticed almost no chaff during roasting, making cleanup a breeze. I like to mix these with other beans to cut down acidity even more. The only thing to watch for is how quickly these lightweight beans roast—it’s easy to go too far if you’re not careful. Overall, it’s a unique coffee that I now reach for regularly."

"After getting tired of the high cost at my local roasters, I decided to try roasting these Mexican beans at home. The beans arrived quickly and came with a detailed infogram, which really appealed to my inner coffee nerd. Even though the beans vary a bit in size, quality is very consistent and I haven’t had any issues with roasting or grinding. Using a simple butane burner and a pot, I can make coffee that’s almost as good as my favorite roasters for a fraction of the price. I’ll definitely keep ordering these."

"I just roasted these beans for the first time and I’m really enjoying the bold, rich, and creamy flavor—there’s a nice chocolaty note along with other pleasant hints. If you love dark roasts, this is a real treasure. The flavor is complex but not overwhelming, and it’s quickly become a new favorite for me."

"I was honestly nervous about roasting these beans at home, but once I did, I found the flavor to be fantastic and really smooth. The subtle sweetness at the end made it even better. Next time, I'll try a lighter roast, but I'm already impressed!"

"After trying coffees from all over the world as a home roaster, I keep coming back to Kona for its exceptional quality and taste. It is definitely more expensive, but to me, it’s absolutely worth it."

"The beans arrived in a secure, well-sealed package and offered a unique flavor different from typical store-bought coffee. While it seemed a bit old and didn't have the same punch as freshly roasted coffee, I still thought it was a good option for someone wanting to try something new."

"As someone who’s very particular about coffee quality, I was impressed by these beans. After roasting, the coffee was aromatic with a bright acidity, plus woodsy and caramel notes. I recommend a light or medium roast and letting them rest a few days for the best flavor."

"I love that I can roast these green beans in small batches at home, which helps me save money and customize the roast to my liking. The quality and quantity are both great for home roasting."

"The beans themselves are fine, but I was a little disappointed that customs opened the bag for inspection and it wasn't resealed afterward. Other than that, no major complaints."
