I like roasting my own coffee beans. I always prefer roasting green coffee beans rather that the regular brown coffee beans.

When roasted, a green coffee bean expands to about double its original size and there are changes in color and density.

As the bean absorbs heat, its color changes first to yellow then to a light cinnamon brown.

At this stage, the bean expels moisture, and, upon reaching 400 degrees Fahrenheit, it turns brown and oil is released from its interior.

This oil gives coffee its distinct flavor. The greater the amount of oil released, the stronger the flavor. This makes a very good cup of coffee. My only problem with purchasing green coffee beans online is that it is very hard to find online and only a few distributors are willing to ship it to you. Another problem is that you can’t buy it like in boxes of 10 or 20, they only sell it in bulk. Other than that, I recommend using green coffee beans to get the best taste from coffee. All you need to do is to find a dealer that will be willing to ship the green coffee beans to you regularly and is willing to give you a discount.
