Why Buy Specialty Green Coffee?

Specialty green coffee is unroasted - you roast it yourself for the freshest coffee you can get! While this may sound like a lot of work, it's not and many people enjoy roasting their own coffee and the flavor can't be beat. Once you try roasting your own, you'll never go back to store bought beans again!

Once coffee beans are roasted, they start to lose flavor right away. They usually only stay fresh for about 7 days whereas green coffee beans stay fresh for 6 months to 10 years. That means you don't have to run out to the store every 7 days to get more beans! Plus, with store bought ground coffee, you just never know what’s in them - some of the cheaper brands use fillers.

You can roast your own specialty green coffee pretty easy - it can be done either in the oven or you can buy and electric coffee roaster. It does take some time and can take a bit of practice, so you'll want to make sure you set aside enough time to perfect your technique for the perfect cup. Then again, if you can't be bothered, you can always buy hand roasted gourmet coffee online and get a frequent delivery program set up so you get fresh coffee delivered every week without the hassle.

New research shows that specialty green coffee may be good for you too! New studies show that drinking coffee in moderation may have health benefits such as reducing the risk of colon cancer, gallstones and Parkinson's disease. Plus it seems to have lots of antioxidants - maybe even more then green tea.
