Your guide to Mill City Roaster | Green Coffee Beans For Roasting

  • How do I choose the right green beans for my Mill City roaster?

    At Green Coffee Collective, we source fresh, fully traceable green coffee suited to Mill City Roasters, whether you're sample roasting, refining profiles, or scaling up production. With a wide selection of washed, natural, and experimental coffees, we make it easy to explore different origins, processing methods, and flavour profiles.

    Mill City Roasters offer precise control over heat application, drum speed, and airflow, allowing you to tailor roast profiles to suit each bean’s characteristics. Whether you're working with high-density coffees that need steady heat application or adjusting airflow for naturals to enhance sweetness and clarity, the right green coffee makes all the difference. Our selection gives you the flexibility to experiment, compare, and fine-tune your roasting approach.

  • 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.
