    Does anyone have experience of purchasing unroasted green coffee beans online and roasting them in a popcorn maker?

    I'm looking for a good source of quality green coffee beans!

    Has bean used to sell green beans.
    I started with a Popcorn maker. Plenty of guides out there and it's good fun to do. Just remember to keep an eye on them as they become combustible after the second 'pop' (was close to 6 minutes iirc).

    Coffeemojo sells green beans in 500g and 1kg quantities. Have never bough green beans, but their roasted beans are smashing!

    Thanks Doodee. I'll let you know how I get on once I get all of the bits together! A work colleague highly recommends roasting your own coffee beans. Great coffee and lots cheaper.

    Thanks Krusty! I've looked on their site and can't find their green bean variety. I mailed them so hopefully they'll revert with a list! Thanks again!

    Have a look at their single origin beans. In the size drop-down, it lists prices for 500g and 1kg bags of green beans. For example, 1kg of Brazilian Fazenda Pantano will set you back €17 (plus delivery). Fresh roasted price is €24.70.

    To get it out of your system I would suggest getting a popcorn popper.

    They usually turn up in lidl or aldi for about 15 euro.

    Do it out side because of smoke and chaff.

    Yes make sure well ventilated. See below from the Journal of the American Medical Association 2003. There are also case reports of people becoming unwell with this roasting at home, although not dying.
