Green Coffee Beans

[Andrew Kasmar]

Hi,

After reading the CWH article on coffee, I was wondering if anyone knows where to purchase green coffee beans. I have looked through some health food stores, but have been unable to find it. Thanks

I used to get green coffee beans through blue heron mercantile every year. However, I didn't see green coffee beans in his catalogue, but if you contact him, he may be able to help you out.

Im glad some one posted this i to have been trying to find these green beans!

G.H Bent (http://www.bentscookiefactory.com/Gifts.html), the same company that made hardtack then and now also sells the green coffee bean. I have some and it is good. Roasting it over the fire can be tricky but a good do-able part of camp life representation.

Wheeling Coffee and Spice roasts their own. A phone call would get you a supply of green ones.

I use to get my green coffee beans from an upscale coffee shop.

I would concur here, I have some of their green beans, they also have great parched corn
and many other dried edibles, as well as some of the finest authentic hemp twine and
rope to be had.

I've seen them at Whole Foods stores at the coffee counters (where they sell you cups of coffee and tea a la Starbucks).

Andrew-

I have them for sale as well. We use them a lot in the mess.

Andrew,

The previous green coffee bean thread is fairly recent, and should have some similar responses. In any case a simple Google search for "green coffee beans" will yield a number of sources (yes, use the quotataion marks in the search), and take a good look at the pricing for green coffee beans, as you can find a range from under $3 per pound to over $25 per pound. When buying 50 or more pounds at a time for a typical ration issue, this can make a big different in the event budget.

Roasting coffee beans in the dark is somewhat of a challenge. Ask Mike Peterson sometime!

My first time doing this resulted in small briquetts.

While looking up a few items this morning for the 24th Iowa's rations next March, this company that specializes in green coffee beans was buried in the list of vendors. I haven't used them in a while, but may do so in the near future:

Same here. We had 'em just about ready to take off when all of the sudden the flame kicked up and caught the whole thing on fire. Needless to say we didn't have coffee that morning.

Hi,

I roasted my first set today, without any problems. This may be due to the fact that I got a lot of information from a person at Whole Foodsm, that had done this before.

And here is one other spot to ponder- http://www.greenbeanery.ca/bean/catalog/index.php?cPath=24

There is an outfit called CoffeebeanDirect. (I believe it is www.coffeebeandirect.com) They sell in a minimum 5lb bag lots. But they do have a staggering variety of both green and roasted beans. They are good, but I'd suggest going in with a couple of fellas to reduce the individual cost. (and buy a larger bag) I've used them for personal use as well as for ration issue.

I postes information yesterday about "Coffee Bean Direct" for buying Green beans. Their address IS www.coffeebeandirect.com. For a 5 lb bag of Brazil santos beans, the cost is 21.25 + 6-7 dollar shipping....If you have lots of coffee need, a 25 lb bag costs $100.00 and shipping is free.

Coffeebeandirect is a fine outfit. They "coffeed" both battalions at BGR and will provision us with that glorious bean at Into the Piney Woods. The big bags come in burlap which is an added plus.

My two cents,

These guys specialize in green coffee beens, and have many varieties:

I've used the little roasters they sell to roast coffee at home for 10 years. In the field its the canteen half.
