Product Review: Fresh Roasted Coffee – Unroasted Indian Monsoon MalabarAs a home roaster who enjoys bold, low-acidity profiles, I was excited to try the Indian Monsoon Malabar beans—and they did not disappoint. These beans offer a unique roasting and drinking experience that stands apart from most origin coffees.Pros:• Unique Processing, Unique Flavor: The monsooning process gives these beans their characteristic earthy, mellow flavor with a slightly salty, woodsy undertone. Perfect for fans of aged or exotic profiles.• Low Acidity: If you’re sensitive to acidity or just prefer a smooth, full-bodied cup, this coffee excels. It has a creamy mouthfeel and deep richness that works beautifully in espresso and dark roasts.• Roasting Tolerance: These beans are forgiving in medium to dark roasts. They don’t go through first crack the same way as other beans, so it takes some attention—but the result is worth it.• Fresh and Clean: The beans arrived green and well-packaged, with minimal defects. The quality is on par with other premium specialty suppliers.Cons:• Not for Light Roast Fans: This origin doesn’t shine as a light roast. The flavor is too flat unless you roast darker to bring out its syrupy body and spice.• Unusual Appearance: New roasters might think the beans look odd—pale and bloated due to the monsooning process—but this is normal for this type.• Moisture Content Variability: These beans can retain more moisture than others, which might affect roast times and consistency if you’re not used to them.Overall Rating: 4.6/5If you’re looking to expand your roasting palette with something truly distinctive, Indian Monsoon Malabar is an excellent choice. It’s not your everyday coffee—but in the best way possible.

Great

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.

Its good. It is typical Brazilian. Recommend roasting beyond first crack.

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!!!
