Your guide to Ethiopia Green Coffee Beans for Home Roasting

  • How do you roast Ethiopian coffee?

    Ethiopian coffee beans are grown at high altitudes, which makes them denser and a bit trickier to roast. Washed Ethiopian beans often need a more intense roasting approach, while natural Ethiopians can scorch easily, so starting with a lower temperature is best.
    Ethiopian beans are also smaller and come in varied sizes, so they need extra care to bring out their delicate, nuanced flavours. They’re not the most forgiving beans, so keep a close eye on them throughout the process.
    To get the best results, take it slow and steady with a gentle temperature increase. A light roast is ideal to highlight their floral notes and bright acidity. Avoid sudden bursts of heat, as this can flatten their unique flavours. Aim for a light to medium roast to tease out their full potential.

  • What is the flavour profile of Ethiopian coffee?

    Ethiopian coffee is famous for its fruity and floral flavours. It often has a light to medium body, bright acidity (think citrussy), and a complexity that is sought after.

    The flavour notes vary depending on the processing method. Naturally processed Ethiopian coffee bursts with fruity flavours like blueberry, strawberry, peach, or apricot. Washed Ethiopian coffee, on the other hand, leans towards floral, tea-like notes with a clean finish.

  • How do you roast green coffee beans at home?

    Roasting green coffee beans at home is easier than you might think, and it’s a great way to explore fresh flavours. You can use a stovetop popcorn maker, your oven, or a home coffee roaster.

    Start by preheating your chosen device, then add the beans and keep stirring to ensure an even roast. Listen for the cracks—the first crack signals a light roast, while the second indicates a darker roast. Light roasts bring out fruity, acidic notes, while darker roasts deliver richer, bolder flavours.

    Once you’ve hit your desired roast level, cool the beans quickly to lock in their flavour. For a detailed step-by-step guide, check out our blog post: How to start roasting coffee at home: all your questions answered!
