I'm pretty new to roasting, and found this variety was one of the easiest to work with, yielding one of my most successful roasts to date. I tried two different roast levels, American roast (mid first crack), and a Vienna roast. I like a blend of medium roast with a little boost dark roast when I brew my coffee.
This yielded a very rich and smooth cup, with good earthy notes, a hint of chocolate, and mild acidity. This was nearly a perfect cup of coffee. I want to try blending in a touch of some other beans for an extra whiff of complexity.

Really loved this bean. I roast to just under a dark roast and drink as espresso. Very smooth with no bitterness. I grind in an espresso grinder and the smell of the freshly ground coffee is as delicious as the taste. I let the roasted beans rest about five days to develop the best flavor. This is probably my favorite bean that I have tried from coffee bean corral and I have probably tried at least fifteen or so different beans. I am sensitive to bitterness in many coffees but this has a lovely sweet taste to me.

Excellent coffee. Easy to roast to medium level in my Gene' Cafe. Starting at room temperature, without pre heat. 14.5 to 15 minutes at 455 deg F. Just past 1st crack. Let machine go through its own cool down cycle C.O.L. with lid down.
Nice palate of nutty cream after initial sip.

I am not a pro at roasting and currently find that I love my air popcorn popper to roast the best, since I do a pot at a time. With that said, I found that when I roasted this one dark it lost a lot of its special character (chocolate overtones) that I liked so much at a medium dark (the best) or medium roast. When roasted medium dark it had a full rich coffee taste with nearly no acidy notes.

I love this one. I roast until the 2nd crack starts. Jura machine for coffee and espresso.

Ordered 10lbs, have roasted through 2lbs at this point. Roasting into Full City + second crack. The taste is incredibly consistent. Flavors are understandably muted due to the darker roast, but the response has been, "this is easily as good as what I would expect at a local specialty coffee shop." I'll take it. Roasting on a Behmor. Can't wait to continue testing blends, etc.

This Java is incredible. Sweet, fruity, complex, balanced, great depth, and full mouth feel.

I have an early version of the fresh roast roaster and Java has always been my favorite

One of my new favorites! Very smooth at a medium roast. Nutty with good flavor. On my rotation now. Never disappointed with Coffee Bean Corral. They always deliver the best.

This was a bit disappointing to me. Not a lot of character - Roasted to full city and Vienna. However, this is the first Java I've ever roasted, so another origin may prove differently. We do use it in one of our blends. It has a very mellow character, low acidity, and good basic coffee taste.

Roasted well into second crack on this one, was hoping for a dark roast blend with Yemeni Moka Sana so can’t comment on stand alone as it wasn’t tasted before combining with the Moka. Friends who had the combo said they liked it but they were friends- I over roasted the Yemen and my Behmor spent some time in a safe mode to punish me. I’ll have to re-order and try again. The Moka Java was good but I’m sure it could have been better.

I purchased one of the samplers and the best of the five types I roasted was Java. It roasts beautifully and can be mixed with Columbia roasts quite nicely. Even in a whirly popper the roast comes out even and beautiful.

Roasted to nearly smoke alarm ( Vienna) in the Behmor 2000AB, and I got a cup much like you would get at one particular major coffee chain. I usually don’t roast dark, but for those who add cream and sugar, which my wife does, darker and “near burnt” roasts can give a better-tasting cup. So she gives this one 5 stars, and I recommend it as a Vienna- French roast!
