Unknown Material in Coffee Beans
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.

Low Grade Coffee
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. Thatâs 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 youâve ever roasted decaf in a fluid bed roaster, you know thereâs no chaff. I had to empty the chaff basket after that roast. It wasnât chaff.For a company to have as many good reviews as they do, they had to have been good. Itâs 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 donât either.

Great Price, Great for Home Roasting
I became a home barista a few months ago and purchased my roaster, grinder and everything else needed to start the journey on Amazon. I always buy the unroasted Brazilian beans and Iâve always had great success with the roasting, grinding and brewing process. Itâs great tasting coffee and I highly recommend it for home roasting.

Amazing flavor
These coffee beans taste great when u roast them. Not only that but they smell insane when u put them in a container to degas. They have a milk chocolate flavor to them with a hint of roasted almond. 10/10 recommend them if u like milk chocolate. I don’t think I can ever go back to pre-roasted coffee from now on.

Used with Fresh Roast SR800 w/ extension tube
This is a great machine, but pricey after the shipping, handling and tax. The extension tube is a must!!! If you “cheap out,” you’re probably going to regret it unless you’re roasting really small batches. The controls work fine, but you are “cat juggling” trying to follow a particular roasting profile. I worked up a chart which really helped keep things on track (see attached). Also, if you’re roasting inside, plan on doing it adjacent to a window with a fan to keep from stinking the house up. Note: the process doesn’t necessarily smell like fresh roasted coffee. If you research the process, you’ll discover that it’s best done using convection (check), includes a means of monitoring temperature (check), and lastly, has a means of collecting and separating the chaff (also check). Honestly, I’ve only done three batches, so time will tell on how it stands up to use. Lastly, two great compliments to the machine, first, the Shardor Conical Burr coffee grinder, CG203A and the Bodum 34 Oz Chambord French Press coffee maker. I researched many options and settled on these, no regrets!!! Anyway, good luck and order some Fresh Roasted Coffee (TM), Unroasted Kenya AA, Kosher, 5 lbs for 50 bucks, you’ll be happy, for sure!!!
