Your guide to Indonesian Green Coffee Beans for Home Roasting

  • How do you roast Indonesian coffee?

    Roasting Indonesian coffee is all about understanding the unique qualities of each region's beans. Sumatran coffee, for instance, has low acidity and bold flavours, which makes it perfect for dark roasts. Javan beans are more versatile and adapt well to a variety of roasting styles, while coffee from Bali truly shines with a light to medium roast, letting its fruity and floral notes take centre stage. Sulawesi coffee, on the other hand, is often roasted to a medium level to highlight its earthy, spicy character.
    If you’re aiming for consistency and quality, try cupping your coffee after roasting. It’s the best way to refine the process and ensure you bring out the flavours you love every time.

  • What is the flavour profile of Indonesian coffee?

    Indonesian coffee is renowned for its unique and complex flavours, shaped by the volcanic soil, high-altitude farms, and microclimates of the archipelago. Beans from Sumatra are known for their full-bodied, earthy character, often accompanied by subtle spice. Java coffee offers a smoother profile with medium body and herbal undertones. Bali-grown beans stand out for their bright, fruity flavours, often featuring hints of citrus and tropical fruits. Sulawesi coffee is distinctive, with a mix of spice, earthiness, and a touch of fruit, creating a truly unforgettable taste.

    Overall, Indonesian coffee is low in acidity but packed with bold and diverse flavours, making it a favourite for coffee enthusiasts worldwide.

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

    Roasting green coffee beans at home can be simple and rewarding. Here’s how to get started:

    1. Choose your equipment: A stovetop popcorn maker, oven, or home coffee roaster all work well.
    2. Preheat and roast: Heat your device and add the beans, stirring or rotating them consistently for an even roast.
    3. Listen for the cracks: The first crack indicates a light roast, while the second leads to darker roasts.
    4. Cool quickly: Once you’ve reached your desired roast, cool the beans immediately to preserve their flavour.

    Light roasts highlight bright, fruity notes, while darker roasts create bold, richer flavours. For more detailed guidance, don’t miss our blog post: How to Start Roasting Coffee at Home: All Your Questions Answered!
