  • Where can I buy high-quality green coffee for my Mill City roaster?

    At Green Coffee Collective, we source and supply top-quality green coffee for professional and aspiring roasters using Mill City machines. Our selection includes washed, natural, and experimental coffees, chosen for their flavour clarity, consistency, and traceability—key factors when refining roast profiles or scaling production.

    Mill City Roasters are designed for both sample roasting and large-batch production, making it essential to work with beans that are fresh, well-processed, and suited to your specific roast approach. Whether you're fine-tuning small test batches or running full production roasts, our selection gives you the reliability and quality needed to get the best from your machine.

  • How should I store green coffee beans for roasting on a Mill City roaster?

    When roasting on a Mill City machine, consistency is key—so proper storage helps maintain predictable results. Green coffee should be kept in a cool, stable environment between 20-25°C (68-77°F) with humidity around 60%. If beans dry out too much, they may roast faster than expected and lose complexity; excess moisture can cause uneven development.

    Since many Mill City Roasters are used for larger-scale roasting, protecting green coffee from degradation over time is even more important. Airtight, opaque containers or vacuum-sealed bags help prevent oxidation and flavour loss, while storing beans in a dark, temperature-controlled space ensures they stay fresh and consistent across multiple roast cycles.
