Every January around my birthday, I use a special coupon online with coffeeproject.com to purchase raw coffee beans. Getting them raw means I can store them for years and years and in the right conditions, they will stay perfectly fresh and ready for roasting any time.
Uncertain Blend
My favorite green coffee beans to purchase is called "Uncertain Blend". Explained as various beans that spill from multiple bags, collected and sold all together. It's their most affordable bean ($5.00/lb) and knowing how many fancy (and expensive) beans they sell, I know this variety of coffee beans will be high quality. I've always been happy with the outcome.
Any Expensive Beans in There?
Among their offerings, the Coffee Project sells "the world's most expensive coffee" which is the Wild Arabica Kopi Luwak. Valued at about $150/lb.
Perhaps there are some in my "uncertain" blend? Who knows? Could be!

These premium raw beans are found "excreted" from the wild Asian Palm Civet. Yes, they're found in poop. I hope they wash them well.
Wild Arabica Kopi Luwak is one of the rarest and most expensive coffees in the world. It is produced using a unique process where wild Asian palm civets (Luwak in Indonesian) consume ripe Arabica coffee cherries, digest the fruit, and excrete the beans. The beans undergo fermentation inside the civet’s digestive system, which is believed to enhance their flavor by reducing bitterness and adding a smooth, complex profile. (ChatGPT)
You can never be CERTAIN what is in the UNCERTAIN blend. A fun amount of mystery with my green coffee roasting experience.
Spilling the Beans
I pour a good amount of green "uncertain" coffee beans into a pan on high heat. After less than a minute, the green beans begin to turn yellow/orange.
As they begin to roast, I can begin to smell the aroma of roasting coffee. I hear the first "crack" and it's a sign that they are progressing in the roasting process.
They turn from yellow/orange to a light brown. They're getting closer!
As they darken, I start to see smoke - a good sign. But not too smoky, that means they're burning!
Once the color looks about right, I take them off the heat and spray them with a mist of water to cool them down. My wife helps me by taking them outside to remove the chaff and cool them down in the cold.
Because there is a variety of beans, different sizes and types, they usually will not roast with a consistent dark color, there are always some lighter and darker. That's ok. I'm CERTAIN it will make a good grind once they rest for a while.
I put them on a paper towel to dry and rest a bit.
These beans are at least 5 years old (maybe older) but they still smell just as good as fresh as when they were first imported. These are some of my oldest beans, my newest ones are still in boxes.
Beautiful light roasted beans! I could have roasted them further, making them black, but it produces too much smoke for my family. So, lightly roasted they are!
I put them in a jar, this is enough for maybe two or three cups of STRONG coffee, using the pour-over method.
I roast my coffee, while enjoying my morning coffee. I'm drinking a certain blend, roasted and ground at some facility somewhere. It may not be as unique as "coffee project" coffee, but it's enjoyable just the same.
Once these beans rest a while, usually overnight, they'll be ready to be ground and made into a delicious uncertain coffee drink, certain to get the day started well!
Bless the Most High for delicious home-roasted coffee!
Bless the Most High!
Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

That looks awesome actually, in a french press that would be amazing.
I have never roasted coffee beans but when I lived in Hawaii I would ocassionally purchase cacao pods (chocolate) roast those and make a hot cacao beverage usely with some red pepper in it to add some spice.

That's super cool! I wonder if any of the uncertain beans are from Panama. We have some of the most expensive coffee in the world grown here as well. Also some coffee that have won worldwide awards. Janson coffee is supposedly really good and won many awards. We share a fence line with them. I'm not a coffee drinker, however, so I can't weigh in on how amazing they are. Ha!
Hmm, it would be interesting to find out if any of these beans are from Panama. Could be! Wouldn't it be something if there were some Janson beans in there? Unlikely, but can never be CERTAIN with UNCERTAIN blend. :-) !BBH
Freshly brewed and ground coffee tastes better. Looks like the uncertain blend were mostly Arabica beans which tastes best. You have a good deal! Coffee Luwak or Alamid Coffee in our country is expensive because of its scarcity. There's not much production of those.
!BBH
I think they were mostly Arabica. Any coffee sold for that price is good in my opinion! !BBH
Very interesting, I think I could almost smell them roasting.
I would be better off not knowing if the poop beans were in there.
!ALIVE
It's a very unique and special smell. !BBH
It's an old custom to drink those coffee beans close to your birthday?
By the way, when is your birthday?
My birthday was last Tuesday, it's sort of a personal tradition I started. Been doing it at least 5 years, probably earlier then that! !BBH
Awesome roasting, enjoy your coffee!😊
Nothing nicer than freshly roasted coffee!!
After Church today our first priority is firing up our two gas Coffee roasters, I am almost out of Coffee Lol!😇
OH nice! Fresh roasted coffee is the best! !BBH
This is amazing, I had no idea roasting at home was that easy! I worked at a coffee shop for a bit and they roasted in a coffee roaster and the guy always made it seem nearly impossible even in the machine that was made for the job. I'm going to check that company out.
lolol, ok, these guys are funny too...

I head that using a popcorn roaster works even better, something I might try in the future. Ha ha, notes of unicorn and moon rock, trippy man! Wonder if some "extracts" are added for "flavor". !BBH
I think it's crazy that the most expensive type of coffee is literally poop 😅

That was delightful to read! I've never roasted my own beans, but I believe that going from green to fresh brewed would deliver the very best coffee experience. I've got to try it now :D Thanks for the info!
Totally worth it! And the best part is there is no rush... these bean are a half-decade old and still taste great! !BBH

That's such a cool tradition around your birthday.
The "Uncertain Blend" sounds like a fun and affordable way to explore different flavors, and who knows, you might just have a bit of that fancy Kopi Luwak in there.

You know, I tried my first cup and there was a hint of something funky in there. Probably an under roasted bean. !BBH
This is amazing.
I love how you prepare your beans for coffee yourself.
