December 28th, 2019, 8:51 am

Ringing in the New Year

The list carries over from 2019 to start the year.

For this years list and this thread, would love for people to post about actual green beans they purchase and roast from these sellers that they think are outstanding, and ARE STILL AVAILABLE for others to purchase when they post. Also if you become of aware of regular specials, I will add those to the end of the list. For example Sweet Marias Black Friday weekend 10% off. Of course new sellers will be added too

Green Bean Roasters #have not used this supplier but the offering seems reasonable.
International Coffee Traders #there is no online shop so you'd have to email to order.
Mountain Top Estate #limited offering but good value considering it's Australian grown coffee (direct from farm?). Taste profile is pretty solid, reminds me of a good quality Ethiopian coffee (roasted medium/light).

Thanks for updating the list!

I'm wondering about Home Roast Coffee LLC in Wisconsin: https://homeroastcoffee.com
They seem to have a decent selection but I've neard heard of them before.

Thanks

I couldn't determine shipping costs and many links broken on the site. So..... not worth the hassle for me. Prices are fair not great and shipping unknown.

I see you have Royal NY Fracking store (odd name choice) but do not have their main shop : https://www.royalny.com/coffee/offerings/

Royal NY is different from Royal Coffee. I know there is some connection but they are different.

Also, thanks so much for this list! As someone very new to roasting this is super helpful.

Andrew I didn't see that they sell 50-60 pounds or less. Do they? I don't consider 140-160 pound bags in the Home Roaster category for this list.

Green coffee from Nepal!

I ordered a two pound bag of Nuwakot and quite liked it. I would order again but I live 45 seconds from Sweet Maria's and thusly...no shipping charges.

Group buy

Fair point. I noticed the full bag was literally half of the price I paid at the fracking store. Never really thought about what I would do with 150 pounds.

I've been roasting Papua New Guinea in my Behmor 1600 from Coffee Bean Direct. This coffee tastes very smooth with minimum acidity and minimum bitterness. I started reading about it and it seems the farmers were able to get some Jamaican Blue Mountain plants/seeds and now this is the result. It is really good. If you don't roast, they also sell it roasted. I find the prices to be competitive and they don't charge any tax (if you aren't in their state) or shipping fee if you buy more than 5 pounds. I'm getting ready to buy 10 more pounds. I also am drinking some Bali Kintamani I roasted from Burman coffee and so far not too happy with it. I haven't been able to get a good roast that tastes good or I need to tweak my machine grind, powder amount to try and fix this issue...

You can buy 5, 10 and 20 lb. bags at reasonable prices.

You mean from the fracking store correct? We are talking about the main store?
