Review: Just Bought Our Third Bag - My wife and I have constantly been on the hunt for the best home coffee we can find for years. We had settled into Peet's French Roast and Starbuck's Verona, depending which one was on sale. Great products. Then I saw a video about roasting coffee at home, and remembered I'd always wanted to try it. While watching subsequent videos to learn how to do the roasting, I got tipped off to this brand of green coffee on desertcart. I ordered some, and my wife was very doubtful about messing with our daily coffee set-up. I took about 8oz. out of the bag to start with, and roasted it in a steel saute pan in the kitchen. I pulled out some of our regular dark roasted beans and roasted these green beans to just about match the color of the store bought ones. During this first roasting attempt, the kitchen filled with a light, aromatic smoke, but not enough to set off the smoke alarms. Luckily, I hadn't tried to roast a larger quantity, which almost certainly would have set off the alarm. The next morning, we brewed the new coffee. Compared to the commercial beans, the flavor was lighter with less of the ponderous, bitter taste we'd come to associate with dark roast. The aftertaste was more wholesome, and once our tastebuds adjusted to the lighter drinking experience, we realized this coffee went better with food, and was less acidy. Now we don't walk around with burnt coffee breath, and (not to be gross here) my urine doesn't smell like I'm rinsing out a coffee urn. Caffeine levels seem about the same if not a little higher. If you try to brew this coffee stronger to match the flavor intensity of the commercial beans, you will probably not reach the deeper, burnt commercial taste, but your fingers will start to tingle, letting you know caffeine is high. We don't have the need to go that strong, but to each his own. I now roast one pound at a time on the gas grill side burner outside, and that just about gets us through the week. I love the smoke smell sticking to my hands, clothes and sinus cavity after roasting. It's a pleasing, unique smell that I find myself beginning to crave. My wife loves this coffee, and is sure "this is the one" and our long search is at an end. After six weeks, I would be very apprehensive to switch her back to commercial coffee now.
Review: Best Home Brewed Cup of Coffee - I've always been a coffee lover. Being of spanish descent, having a good strong cup of coffee is of utmost importance. I grew up on Cafè Bustello and making coffee in the sock (coffee grinds in a sock that you pour boiling hot water over and let steep in a pot.) Much of the flavor derived from the coffee came from re-using the sock / coffee ground method over and over. As I got older, I upgraded to whole bean coffee and a grinder to grind myself. I threw away the sock method of brewing and used a simple pour over instead. As the flavors in coffee became more succinct and aromatic, I continued to explore new and innovative ways to make coffee. Recently I stumbled upon an article that talked about saving money by buying green coffee beans. It piqued my interest and I found I could roast my own coffee without having to invest in expensive gadgets. I did a quick search on desertcart for "green coffee beans" and came across all the great reviews that Primos Coffee Co. had. I decided to make the jump and quickly bought 3 lbs of green coffee beans. When the beans arrived I used a stainless steel pot to roast them. I waited 24 hours before grinding them and then quickly made myself a cup of coffee. I became hooked! I have never tasted such a rich and aromatic cup of HOME MADE coffee!! Who knew you could get coffee house style coffee at home and for a fraction of the cost. I would highly recommend these beans to anyone who is looking to brew coffee at home. There is a learning curve to roasting and especially if your looking to roast via the stove top method. Personally, I didn't want to spend money on a hot air popcorn popper because my kitchen is small and cupboard space is valuable real estate. Instead, I poured over article after article that discussed using a heavy stainless steel pot to roast green coffee beans. It was very challenging and because I like my coffee beans on the dark side, there's a fine line between dark / oily dark / and the dreaded burnt bean. Make sure you get the pot nice and toasty before pouring 1 cup of green coffee beans in. Once the beans are in the pot begin stirring with a wooden spatula and don't stop! Train your ear to listen carefully for that first and second crack. Once you get to second crack, the beans seem to come alive and it sounds like bacon sizzling on a frying pan. Throughout the entire process the key is to constantly stir the beans with a wooden spatula AS WELL AS shake the pot back and forth. This helps the beans get an even roast between them. I've experimented with just stirring and only shaking and found that a combination of the 2 motions help even out the roast of the beans. Otherwise, you'll have both dark-dark- roasted beans and chocolatey caramel colored beans in the same roast. Once the beans come to a preferred roast, quickly whisk them out of the pot and into a mesh strainer. If you live in the northeast, take your beans outside and whisk them in the chilly winter air to cool. It also helps get the chaff off the bean without having your kitchen look like a chocolate feather contest gone wild. After the beans cool, place them in a glass jar and seal. I've found that the flavor becomes richer the longer you let the beans rest. 3 day "old" beans are a perfect rich cup of coffee for me whereas next day or 2 day old beans have a mild flavor. 1 cup of green coffee beans yields me 5 days worth of coffee.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What exactly does "Produced sustainably with the highest standards for our fellow Nicaraguans" mean? Fair trade?**
A: Hello Ulysses,Great question! Our family has been producing coffee for four generations and we want to continue for many more. To do this, we are committed to sustainable practices including the highest social, economic and environmental standards for our fellow Nicaraguans and natural resources. Fair trade does include sustainability but it is focused on obtaining better trading conditions for small farmer co-operatives. Our coffee is not traded through a co-operative but rather directly - meaning you are purchasing directly from the farmer. Hope that answers your question!Primos Coffee Co.

**Q: Is wet washing used for these beans?**
A: Washing, where the beans are wet processed and flotation is used to remove bad cherries, is one of two possible preparation methods for coffee, the other being dry or 'natural' preparation. Washing is much more common globally and is a more reliable way of producing fine coffees. Almost all coffee originating in the Americas is washed. With natural or dry coffees, where the coffee cherry is sun dried and then hulled, much more hand labor is required to produce a good result, and these coffees are often, although not exclusively of African origin. There are also washed African coffees of course. Note that washing has nothing to do with a decaffeination process.

**Q: Are these beans viable, so they may be germinated to grow coffee plants?**
A: No, James B., these beans will not germinate to grow coffee plants. They have had their last layer of parchment removed and that must be intact for the beans to germinate. Sorry!

**Q: Are these beans a Green color or a silver gray?**
A: Silver gray color is the thin outer covering of the bean. It flakes off during roasting, leaving only the bean. It’s harmless, non-toxic stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consistently Smooth, Chocolate-Forward Cup
*by A***E on May 18, 2026*

Primos Nicaraguan green beans roast beautifully and very evenly in my home roaster, producing an excellent cup with a smooth chocolate-forward profile and low acidity. I consistently get reliable results and would definitely recommend these beans, especially for home roasters who enjoy a sweet, chocolatey Nicaraguan coffee. Great value for the bag, as well.
