  • How do you roast Indonesian coffee?

    Roasting Indonesian green coffee is all about matching your roast style to the bean’s origin. Sumatran coffee has low acidity and bold, earthy flavours — great for dark roasts. Java beans are more adaptable and suit anything from light to dark. Bali coffee shines as a light to medium roast, showing off its fruity, floral notes. Sulawesi beans tend to sit best around medium, bringing out spice and earthiness.

    Want consistent results? Cup your roast. It’s the best way to fine-tune and bring out what you love in each origin

  • What is the flavour profile of Indonesian coffee?

    Indonesian green coffee is known for its bold, complex flavours - shaped by volcanic soil, altitude, and climate. Sumatra brings full-bodied, earthy notes with hints of spice. Java offers a smoother cup, with medium body and herbal tones. Bali coffee is bright and fruity, often with citrus or tropical fruit. Sulawesi gives you a mix of spice, depth, and subtle fruit.

    It’s low in acidity but rich in flavour - a great match for home roasters looking for something distinctive.

  • What’s the best way to roast green coffee beans at home?

    Roasting green coffee beans at home is simple, and it puts you in control of the flavour. Use a popcorn maker, oven, or home coffee roaster — whatever suits your setup.

    Preheat, add your beans, and keep them moving for an even roast. Listen for the first crack (light roast) and the second (dark roast), then cool them straight away.

    Light roasts bring out fruit and brightness. Darker roasts go deeper and richer. Want a step-by-step guide? Check out our blog: How to Start Roasting Coffee at Home: All Your Questions Answered!
