Green Coffee Beans for Ikawa Roasters

Yes. That's what it was designed for. Roast a 0.5kg bag across a few profiles, and if you like the coffee you can buy it in 5kg, or 10kg and 20kg with a wholesale account, knowing how it behaves.

Most Ikawa sample profiles run for around 5–9 minutes, including cooling. That's short enough to roast several coffees in one sitting and cup them side by side. Our Ikawa vs Roest review compares the two sample roasters in detail.

Yes. With batches of 50–100g, an Ikawa produces very little smoke, and it's designed to sit on a kitchen counter or lab bench. Darker profiles produce more, so ventilate if you roast past first crack.

Pick a few coffees that differ clearly, such as a washed Kenyan, a natural Ethiopian and a Brazil, and roast them on one standard profile. A small batch bundle is an easy way to get a spread of origins at once.

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.
