A roasters delight! Consistency quality and smooth bold flavor!

My favorite coffee beans now

I subscribe to receive Unroasted Columbian Supremo, and have been overall pleased with the product. The beans roast evenly to City + in the time expected with each batch. The flavor is rich with minimal bitterness. The reason for this comment is that I find numerous thin threads of what appears to be white plastic throughout the bag of beans (see photo). This has been the case with each bag purchased over the past several months. I don't want to melt plastic into my beans while roasting, or drink contaminated coffee, so I have to carefully remove the threads before roasting (and likely miss a few). I shouldn't have to do this, and would like to know what these threads are. They melt and smell like plastic when lit. Please ask Fresh Roasted to find and eliminate the source of these white plastic threads in their beans or I will have to find a different brand or source for my unroasted beans. Thank you.

We have ordered several Lavassa green coffees and have been reasonably satisfied given the price point. However, where Yirgacheffe is concerned, they don't even come close to the FRC green coffee!I'm surprised the reviews for the other varietals offered by FRC are all mixed together in one review pool. I've only found one other review for Yirge. After having gone through a LOT of different green Yirgees from different distributors, this is the second best I've ever had and it is by far the most affordable! Or at least it was... it appears to have fallen off the Amazon Prime lists since I ordered it and received it... It was the equivalent of $6 per pound.They advertise the beans as Grade 2. I'm not sure what the limit is on quakers in grade 2. In roasting two cups of beans I found maybe 7 or so beans to reject before roasting (bug damage, discoloration or under ripe). After roasting them I probably found 10-12 quakers. That seems a bit high for Grade 2 to my inexperienced self, but that was far fewer than other "good quality" Yirgees I've roasted, especially Lavassa.We like our roast a light as possible while still achieving full bean flavor. 1:20 after first crack has yielded marvelous results with this bean! I've only roasted one Yirge that was better. Floral and citrusy notes abound. The Lavassa Yirge we had to roast quite a bit more just to get any flavor out of it, and we were never happy with the result. So this was cheaper, better quality beans and a much livelier and enjoyable cup than Lavassa.Thank you (ironically named) Fresh Roasted Coffee for such wonderful unroasted coffee! Hopefully by the time we're out, this will be back on Prime at the lower price point. Even if it wasn't (depending on price) I certainly consider ordering it again anyway.

I have tried so many different varieties from all over the world. This is consistently the best coffee you can roast period. I roast in a Behmore 1600AB and roast is from light to full city. This bean does it all. A couple of things I noticed.1. Rest time is much longer than other beans. I actually won't brew this bean for a minimum of 5 days. The off gas cycle takes longer. Even at 5 days you will get some acidity in the cup, by 7 days it's on like donkey kong.2. Lighter roast are ok, but you really need to give these beans the heat to get them to release flavor. Med+ makes it come alive.3. Flavors are consistent in almost every batch. If you are new to roasting, no question buy this bean. Give it to your friends and become a Coffee Rock Star.4. Now the bad news. You can only get it in 5 pound bags. I would love to buy this in bulk so I don't have to make orders twice or 3 times /month.

I would rather write a dozen 5 star reviews than a single 1 star review.Fresh Roasted Coffee LLCCOLUMBIAN SUPREMOThis is not Columbian Supremo.This is too easy to verify.Supremo and Excelso are sizes of beans.Supremo is the largest bean size at 6.75mm or larger. That’s 17/64 of an inch.Excelso is slightly smaller starting at 5.5 mm or 7/32 of an inch.These coffee beans were too small to be graded, ranging in size from 1-5 mm with many broken and deformed beans. .Uneven bean size translates into an uneven roast.I asked a friend and mentor with over forty years of roasting experience what he thought of these beans. He thought that they were a low comercial grade bean.Foot note: I also purchased the decaf sample pack. The Mexican decaf was of such low quality that I lack the words to describe it. It had more broken beans than whole beans. At least one quarter of the beans were just chips. There was even coffee dust if that was even possible. If you’ve ever roasted decaf in a fluid bed roaster, you know there’s no chaff. I had to empty the chaff basket after that roast. It wasn’t chaff.For a company to have as many good reviews as they do, they had to have been good. It’s disturbing that they could have gone from that to this.I am sorry that I had to write a negative review.I will NEVER buy from Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC again. I suggest that you don’t either.
