    Yes, and that was going to help you decide what to buy next as per your reply (post #10)
    I’ll definitely try everyone’s suggestions
    No need to get defensive. You are no different to many/most of us here were, including me: new to the roasting game and enthusiastic, wanting to achieve great results as soon as possible.

    Pick a bean from Beanbay and get cracking! : )

    flynnaus first of all mate i have asked before about two beans Colombian volcan vs Etophian Harrar. If you clearly read here I have asked on this post what’s everyone’s top 3 green beans to roast. No I won’t stop asking questions because I am curious and want to learn. You dont need to reply to my questions you can simply just ignore it!! Btw thanks to everyone who replied back is haven reading about all the beans they recommend!!

    I don't have a top three per se!
    My favourites are from Ethiopia and Yemen.

    I very rarely drink SO's so I cant contribute but there have been some ripper recommendations in this thread that should allow you to experience the full breadth of possibilities.

    Forget analysis paralysis, taste preference is such a subjective thing I'd recommend you just get stuck into it and enjoy the journey.

    Cheers

    A good Kenyan is always nice, I finally got hold of some and will be roasting it next week.

    Yep, my Top 3 are
    1. What I'm roasting now
    2. What I was roasting before that
    3 You get the idea.

    EfeCaner, you asked about this before. I suggest you stop asking what everyone else thinks and start discovering for yourself.

    NOTE: Yemen is a popular choice among us CoffeeSnobs but not really recommended for someone just starting out in roasting because of the cost of the beans. Go for something relatively easy to roast like the PNG Wahgi or Indian Elephant Hills or Peru Ceja de Selva. Or you could work your way around the world. Start with something nearby like an Indonesian or PNG, then head west to China, india then Africa, South America, Central America, North America (ie Mexico).

    No trouble to identify which beans sit at the 'best' on the top of my list, namely several of the wonderful Yemen coffees that Andy has managed to to organise for us here in Oz, then a number of many East African treasures and followed up very closely with lots of Central and South American beauties; several Indian varieties too over the years.

    Impossible to single out any of the bean varietals into second and third place after the Yemen for me. Too many great beans to choose from and anyway, my preferences may not align with what you may prefer. Best to try them all over time and make up your own mind...

    I’m still wearing my L’s while roasting but of the ones I have a bit of a handle on.
    1 : Ethiopian Shakisso
    2 : Yemen Ismaeli (was hard to get right but a couple of CS helped me out)
    3 : Brazil Natural (easy roast, solid/thick/cocoa)

    To be honest I have only purchased Colombian volcan and loving it. I’ll definitely try everyone’s suggestions step by step. Much appreciated. Thanks for everyone’s reply. Have a good weekend
