FYI, the lighter the roast, the more caffeine content of the brew.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188650874375595590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941081507035146847.post-29844278359632628792017-05-04T18:33:09.645-05:002017-05-04T18:33:09.645-05:00We have the costco green and have roasted it using...We have the costco green and have roasted it using cast iron over propane. It's a little like popping corn, but not as energetic. The resulting coffee isn't bad and is definitely better than instant. We store the unroasted green in glass jars to preserve freshness. As a strong suggestion, do not attempt to use a bladed coffee grinder on green coffee. It broke the blade on mine. Didn't try it in the burr grinder, as breaking one grinder was enough for me to get the message. Green coffee beans are like rocks. <br /><br />A monastery near us roasts beans to the yellow stage or right before first crack (grounds are very pale) and mixes the grinds with more darkly roasted beans to increase the available caffeine. It's not a bad alternative if you want to increase the bang per ounc of coffee. Not sure the beverage from pure yellow would taste like coffee as we know it.Monsoon Matriarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476615206392489371noreply@blogger.com
