Green Coffee Beans for Aillio Bullet Roasters

Yes, though below about 300g the bean probe reads less reliably because there aren't enough beans covering it. For cupping new lots, 350–500g is a good compromise. Many roasters buy a 1kg bag of each candidate coffee, run two test roasts, then commit to a larger size.

Most Bullet roasts take 9–14 minutes from charge to drop, depending on batch size and how far you develop the coffee. Larger batches and darker roasts sit at the longer end. Our guide to rate of rise explains how to read the curve RoasTime shows you.

A consistent, forgiving coffee such as a Brazil or Colombian from our staple range. Buy 5kg so you can roast it repeatedly while you learn how the Bullet's power, fan and drum settings change the cup.

We offer coffee starting from as little as 0.5kg (1 lb) all the way up to full sacks. If you’re looking for larger quantities than what’s listed on our site, just get in touch! We’d be happy to help you organise and place a custom order. We're here to make sure you get exactly what you need.

We totally get it - quality is everything! That’s why we offer samples for almost all our coffees, so if you’re unsure, you can try it yourself before committing. Plus, every coffee comes with a detailed, easy-to-read cupping report where we break down the scores using SCA protocol and list all the flavour notes. We’re all about transparency, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting!

Properly stored, green coffee beans can last up to a year or more without losing quality. To store them long term, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Airtight containers work best to protect them from humidity and odours.
