Your guide to Hottop Green Coffee Beans For Roasting

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

    The Hottop’s longer roast cycle and manual control make it well-suited to high-density, high-altitude beans, which hold up well to extended development. Lower-density beans can still work but may need careful heat management to avoid flattening flavours.

    Since roasting on the Hottop relies on sight, smell, and sound, beans with clear development stages are easier to work with. Washed coffees roast predictably, while naturals and honey-processed beans require more attention to heat application. With Artisan software compatibility, it’s also a great machine for experimenting with different origins and processing styles.

    At Green Coffee Collective, we offer a range of fresh, traceable green coffees suited to Hottop roasting, giving you the flexibility to refine your approach and explore new possibilities.

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

    At Green Coffee Collective, we source and supply high-quality green coffee, ideal for Hottop users who want greater control over their roasting process. Our selection includes fresh, traceable beans from top producers, chosen for their consistency, quality, and unique flavour profiles.

    Since the Hottop mimics commercial drum roasting, it works well with a broad range of coffees. Some develop crisp, well-defined flavours, while others benefit from extended caramelisation for deeper sweetness and body. With regularly updated stock, there’s always something new to explore.

  • How should I store green coffee beans for Hottop roasting?

    Proper storage helps maintain moisture content and flavour, ensuring consistent results in the Hottop’s longer roast cycle. Green coffee is best kept in a cool, stable environment between 20-25°C (68-77°F) with humidity around 60%. Too much moisture can lead to uneven development, while overly dry conditions can cause beans to roast too quickly and lose complexity. Airtight, opaque containers or vacuum-sealed bags help prevent oxidation, while storing them in a dark cupboard or pantry ensures they stay fresh and roast consistently.

  • How to roast green coffee beans at home?

    Roasting green coffee beans at home unlocks their unique flavours. You can use a stovetop popcorn maker, oven, or home coffee roaster. Preheat your equipment and keep stirring the beans to ensure an even roast.

    Listen for the cracks during roasting—these signal the different roast stages. A light roast highlights fruity, acidic notes, while a darker roast brings out bold, rich flavours. Once the roast is just right, cool the beans quickly to preserve their taste.

    The key is to experiment until you find a roast that you love. For more tips, visit our blog: How to start roasting coffee at home: all your questions answered!
