Your guide to Nicaragua Green Coffee Beans for Home Roasting

  • How should I roast Nicaraguan coffee?

    Nicaraguan coffee is versatile and responds well to a range of roast profiles. The best approach depends on the specific variety and processing method. Washed Nicaraguan coffees often shine at lighter to medium roasts, highlighting their balance of sweetness, acidity, and clarity. Natural and honey-processed beans can develop deep fruit notes and a syrupy body with a slightly longer development time. If you're experimenting, start with a medium roast to capture the coffee’s caramel sweetness and citrus brightness, then adjust based on your taste preferences.

  • What does Nicaraguan coffee taste like?

    Nicaraguan coffee is known for its balance. It often carries a caramel sweetness, citrus brightness, and chocolate or nutty undertones. The acidity is typically milder than other Central American coffees, making for a smooth and approachable cup. Washed Nicaraguan coffees tend to be clean and structured, with medium acidity and gentle fruit notes. Naturals and honey-processed beans, however, can take on a juicier profile, bursting with tropical fruit and red berry flavours. Then there are the experimental lots—coffees that surprise with floral, spicy, or even wine-like characteristics. With so much variation, there’s always something new to discover.

  • How to roast green coffee beans at home?

    Roasting green coffee beans at home is a simple way to unlock their full flavour. You can use tools you already have, like a stovetop popcorn maker, an oven, or a dedicated home roaster.

    Start by preheating your equipment, then add the beans and stir them consistently to ensure an even roast. As the beans heat up, you’ll hear cracks that signal the different stages of roasting. Light roasts bring out fruity, acidic notes, while darker roasts develop bolder, richer flavours.

    Once your beans are roasted to your liking, cool them down quickly to lock in the flavour. For step-by-step guidance, check out our blog post: How to Start Roasting Coffee at Home: All Your Questions Answered!
