Ready to Roast Green (unroasted whole bean) 100% Kauai Prime - 5 lb Bag

Great coffee beans from my favorite Island. Every sip of freshly brewed Kauai coffee transports back to the Garden Island every time. Can’t wait for morning to arrive!

I have a friend who has a coffee roaster. He roasted these beans and it turned out great.

These beans roast to a nice chocolate brown and we especially like that they are from Hawaii.

We have been getting green Kauai Coffee beans for many years now. We enjoy the fresh roasted flavor and being able to determine our own roast (light/medium/dark). Our friends and family can't get enough when visiting and we sometimes even share if we have just finished roasting. The folks at Kauai Coffee treat us like we are a part of their Ohana - and that's how we feel. Mahalo for all you have and continue to do!

It looks like if you give less than 5 stars your review doesn’t get posted, so here goes the short version of my review. Worth it once for the novelty or a gift to a home roaster that will never make it out to Kauai. Aside from that way overpriced, can get 88+ score coffees elsewhere for half the price.

It’s “good” coffee, and don’t want to take away from that. It tastes every bit like a Hawaiian coffee, but upper mid-tier. If you frequently roast your own coffee you know about places to get consistently 88+ score unroasted beans for far less. It’s worth the money as a 1 time thing or a gift to a friend that roasts, but if you are looking for something to keep buying, pass on this.

If you want Kauai coffee specifically, you would be better off going for their roasted Blue Mountain, Peaberry or Barrel Aged.

You can bet coffee products from Kauai Coffee are going taste delicious. It's hard to ruin the roasted varieties. I like roasting my own green coffee beans primarily because it's a minor hobby. I have been roasting for about 10 years now even before buying Kauai Ready to Roast Green beans.

If you're ready to enter into this hobby I suggest you start with cheaper beans while learning. It will take a bit of learning curve to get YOUR exact roast that you like. Although Kauai's Green Beans are more expensive, I don't like wasting them via a bad roast (i.e. burnt). In my opinion as an amateur roaster, it's worth a little extra to get the best tasting coffee you can get through your own efforts. It's a lot of fun, too!

Incredible deal! Excellent beans and consistent quality. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO spoiled! LOL

Just completed a roast 2 days ago. First roast of this batch. Using a Hottop roaster, it was finished close to a city roast. Result after 48 hr. rest was a smooth low acid pour over cup. Tastes of vanilla, nuts and milk chocolate made it a beautiful nostalgic cup of Kauai coffee. Thanks for this years offering at an incredible price! I'm ordering another 5lbs. and plan to continue adjusting the roast parameters to see how they turn out. No disappointments and surprisingly low pricing.

I've been getting the green beans from Kauai coffee for some time. The beans are very fresh, green instead of pale yellow, nice floral scent before roasting.
If you enjoy the processes of roasting, note taking, savoring, changing the batch weight & time, you'll love this green beans.
If I were to judge my roasting degree from a 1~10 roasting scale, mine would be a solid 6, maybe 7.
I've set my tone between pour over to latte espresso, not so much of French press or city dark, the beans are pretty good with the tasks I intended.
How do they taste? The rewards were in combinations of nutty, caramel, with a touch of floral, full body, lasting aroma in the mouth.

For awhile you couldn't buy these...don't know exactly why but I'm glad they're back! I truly love roasting coffee, and the Kauai beans have always been delivered fresh and have always roasted well, no matter how light or dark my "coffee mood" might be at any given time. Great stuff!!!

This remains my go to source for green beans to roast at home. Allows me to vary roasting times to achieve different tastes and flavors. No matter which roast I choose, these are never bitter and always enjoyed.

Thanks for sharing the gifts of your labor and love. Fresh roasted Kauai coffee brings us back to island zen .

Roasts nicely and tastes great!

My wife and I visited the plantation on vacation and enjoyed tasting the coffees. We have been roasting Kauai coffee since.
