END OF YEAR SHUT DOWN: Last orders will go out on Wednesday 23rd December in the morning so please ensure you have your orders in and paid by close of business Tuesday 22nd December. We will be back on board on Monday 11th January.
Enjoy the break if you are getting one! From the Green Bean House team.
People have roasted coffee at home for centuries, using numerous methods. Until World War I it was more common to roast coffee at home than to buy pre-roasted coffee.
During the 20th century commercial coffee-roasting companies became common and home-roasting decreased.
People are now returning to home roasting to get the freshest possible coffee with aroma undiminished by storage - using equipment as simple as a skillet over a hot stove or a pop corn popper - or as specialised as a Behmor Plus benchtop roaster.
Home roasting allows coffee lovers to experiment with their own blends of single origin beans and with roasting profiles (the time beans spend at each temperature).
The Green Bean House provides the widest range of single origins available to home roasters and roasting recommendations to get you started. Enjoy!
