I bought some green coffee beans recently and discovered how easy it is to home-roast a nice brew! It took me under 15 minutes, and the time depends on the flavors you are targeting, the temperature that you roast at, and how evenly you can heat the beans. I made a small amount like a french roast, dark and oily, and it was delicious. Then i made a small batch much lighter, and found floral and spicy notes! I like using these beans for such a range of flavors. I took some of the lighter roast and ground it super-fine, and i got a nearly dissolvable powder that rivals some Vietnamese “instant” whole ground coffee that i was given as a gift! So far all my small roasts have tasted fresh and tasty. And it’s a new kind of fun for us coffee geeks!

These green beans come vacuum packed in a sealed plastic bag.. Cutting the bag open releases the vacuum and the beans settle as expected. 5.5 pounds is a good load of beans for the money, so this is an economical choice in green coffee beans.
I had never tried robusta beans before but heard they are inferior to arabica beans, so I was anxious to try them myself to see (taste) the difference. Like any other beans, robusta beans originate from different places. These originate from Vietnam. I roasted them in my trusty Poppery II popcorn popper that I often use to roast beans. I found these throw off less chaff than arabica beans and they roasted pretty evenly. I roasted them a little longer than medium to try to bring out more flavor, as I heard robusta beans have somewhat weak flavor. After roasting, I let them breathe for a full 24 hours for degassing. Then I made a pot.
The aroma from the brewing coffee was pretty nice, a bit more bitter than typical arabica coffee. I found the flavor somewhat disappointing. It’s not bad, it’s just not strong enough for my taste. So I would have to use a lot more coffee to get the strength I prefer. The flavor does have some nice chocolate notes and it stands up to sugar and cream well, but has a bit of an aftertaste.
So all in all, not my favorite coffee. I’m going to experiment with different roasts and using different amounts of coffee to see how the flavor is affected. After all, I have plenty of beans to experiment with.

I roasted this coffee to a light color, just after the first crack. My husband likes it really dark, so he pushed his further. He said it was a full-bodied taste with no bitterness. I can tell you mine was mild and very pleasant. I usually mix my coffee, but I can easily drink this straight. It is one of the earthy flavors, but smooth. Didn’t taste acidic to me at all. One of those cups you can sip on for a while and enjoy, rather than chug for the caffeine boost.
It roasted very evenly. More so than most. Took on a golden color all around before the first crack, then it was a light brown. Nothing got stuck in my roaster for once either. I already bought more of this, so we don’t run out. I can’t wait to try blending it. I have a feeling it will blend very nicely. Oh, it comes vacuum sealed and looks like a brick. It was tightly sealed when it arrived and seems to be very fresh. Usually older coffee won’t roast evenly. Or that has been my experience at least. I hope you enjoy it as well!

I’ve always wanted to try roasting my own coffee, and I love ordering Vietnamese Iced Coffee at restaurants, so I thought these Robusta beans from Vietnam would work out great. Roasting them on my own is actually kind of fun and it’s so satisfying watching them slowly go from their light greenish color to a dark brown. Unfortunately, in the process, I’ve learned that robusta beans just don’t cut it for me. They aren’t strong enough to support sweetened condensed milk. The coffee from these beans makes a decent iced coffee as long as I don’t add any cream or milk to dilute the flavor. But I still prefer arabica.

These unroasted robusta coffee beans are tricky to get right. Definitely for someone with more experience roasting their own coffee than myself, although at-home coffee roasters may prefer fancier arabica beans. I tried roasting this coffee in two different ways: pan roasting (uneven results, but flavorful), and oven roasting (uniform but bitter). When pan roasted, the coffee flavor was quite complex with moderate acidity and not too much bitterness. The coffee beans did not produce too much smoke, interestingly enough. I suppose they must be de-husked to an extent where smoke is not produced. However, it was difficult to brew the beans through a paper filter becuase they clogged the paper up with debris. Next time I will try a French press to see if brewability improves. I would say these beans have potential in the right hands, since they seemed to produce drinkable results.

This was more fun to make than it had any right of being.
When it arrived it was vacuum sealed in such a way I thought it was like some kind of coated Peanut Brittle. I mean, it was solid and a rectangle. SO, I feared it. I put it in a corner and would look at it out of the corner of my eye. I kept thinking I would have to open it, and then put in some kind of pillow case and go outside with a sledgehammer.
Well, NO! It was fun! I pierced it open, I could hear the air whoosh out and then it was a bag full of beans.
I read about cooking these at various temperatures, dealing with waiting for it to pop, the smell, then sifting it out, etc. I decided to go the lazy and slower route.
I soaked these overnight until the water was absorbed. There was a little left. I’d like to say I went all math with it and correct proportions, but no, I put them in a pot and poured distilled water over it. Looked at it. Set it aside, came back, poured some more over it and put it in the fridge.
After that, I poured put the mixture in a metal sieve. There was still a little water left but it looked more full.
I then placed water over it at approximately …well, what looked like the height of the beans X2. I waited for it to boil and then simmered for 15 minutes. I then poured it over a finer sieve. There is A LOT. I mean, after I soaked the beans I used just a bit more as it expanded, and this is going to last a really long time.
Picture 3 shows the results with some milk, which shows the different greenish color. Pictures 4 and 5 are how it looks without milk. 6 is when I placed water over it.
It has a nutty like taste and a nice smell. It reminds me a little of baclava, especially at the bottom of the cup once I’m done drinking it.
That it helps more with weight loss and reads from sites as more healthy than standard coffee is a huge plus.
I am very happy I decided to try this out and also that I went the route of making it into more of a concentrate than dealing with baking it and all that follows.

This is my very 1st time roasting my own coffee. I remember my aunt doing it when I was little and decided to do it just like that since the packaging did not mention anything on how to roast it (I guess they assume since you buy it you know what you’re doing)
The coffee beans arrived vacuum packed and is exactly as described. This is the 1st time I get to smell a fresh raw coffee beans and I like it.
Roasting it is quite an experience. I tried medium roast the do the dark roast later. I suggest you do a small batch to see how you like it first and adjust after that.
It has a great smell BUT lacks in flavor UNLESS you add 5x than your normal call of measurement when brewing your coffee then you’ll get a better coffee taste.
I find it best if you make it iced coffee or latte/cappuccino instead.
Will I buy it again? Probably not coz I prefer a stronger coffee flavor and this is not it for me

These are beautiful beans. They come packaged in a vacuum bag that is as solid as a brick until you open the bag. The beans themselves are beautiful, no broken pieces and nothing other than clean perfect looking beans.
The Robusta beans are a little different than we are used to. They seem to have a little more of a bite to them and we really enjoyed the change.
Overall very happy with the “SIMEXCO Unroasted Green Coffee Beans, Vietnamese Coffee Beans, Robusta Wet Polished Coffee Beans, Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade Certified Coffee Beans (5.5 lbs)”.

… I am new to home roasting.
I have a small air type roaster made by Melita and have roasted green arabica beans, and now these.
I’ve done different roasts with both, (light, medium, dark) but still find my palate liking the arabica roasted coffee better. Probably because that’s all I drink, so it’s what I’m used to.
As inexperienced as I am, I did do some searches and found that other home roasters suggest giving the roasted Vietnamese beans time to rest and degass.
That and doing a blend of arabica and these robusta beans.
So, I’ve roasted some more of these beans and will let them rest and degass and update this review in a few weeks, after I grind them and prepare them as espresso.
In the meantime, again, using a hot air based Melita home roaster it was interesting how these beans roasted, no matter what roast level. There were always about 5% or so beans that were lighter in color than the rest of the batch; I thought that interesting.
Another thing I found interesting, and this may be common knowledge among experienced roasters, is the chaff. Really small and way less than the arabica beans that I roast.
When I open the bag of these green beans they smell green; like grass with a little hint of mint.
Using the beans I’ve roasted (not rested and not degassed) and ground fine and made in a stove top moka pot, I have not perceived the flavors that the product page described.
I WISH I was getting a “milk chocolate” taste, but I’m just not.
To better represent themselves, it might be good to include roasting instructions for their particular variety of beans to maximize the experience and pleasure people have when using their product; either on the product page or maybe their own website; just a thought.
I hope this review has enabled you to make an informed purchase decision.
I rarely give an overall 5 star rating.
