Ethiopian Organic Yirgacheffe FTO

by Anonymous on March 9, 2018

My wife and I have been drinking Organic Ethiopian Yergacheffe from Coffee Bean Corral for many years now. As far as we are concerned, these beans produce the richest, most flavorful, and elegant cups of coffee that can be had anywhere on this planet! My wife roasts these beans for one to two minutes past the second crack. She then immediately turns off the heat on the roaster, but leaves the fan running to cool the beans and prevent further cracking and loss of oil. Finally, she prepares each cup of Yergacheffe in an Aeropress Coffee Maker, which, we feel, produces a superior cup of coffee to French presses and all other types of coffee makers. These cups of Yergacheffe coffee, in our opinion, are simply superb, and we would not dream of starting and ending each day without them! Thank you, Coffee Bean Corral !!!

By far the best all round roasting bean we've found. We love the full body and complex flavor/aroma of this bean. We try other beans both from Africa and Central/South America. We keep coming back to the Organic 'Yergi'.

One of our favorites and usual stock. Since this Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is likely all of coffee’s origin and likely that many have never tried it, I use this for teaching and training purposes to dhow other’s how to roast their own coffee. I love it that it is organic, Free Trade and from heirloom stock!

A complex and smooth coffee. A bit of chocolate, some citrus fruit notes, and a touch of earthiness. Roasted just before 2nd crack and it's great.

My first order from Coffee Bean Coral and I'm very happy. This organic yirgacheffe has been a great first experience. Great flsvors all the way from almost-too-hot-to-drink right down to the last barely-warm dregs. Flavor variations over the whole temp range. Roasted to Full City and very pleased with the taste. I'll try a couple batches at FC+, but this will be hard to beat. And the price wasn't bad since it's yirgacheffe and it's organic.

This is my go-to coffee bean. Nothing, out of all my green purchases from various places, compares to the consistency and flavor of this bean. I roast this just past the second crack and push into cooling mode on a a Behmor 1600 plus. The result? A powerhouse bean that mixes incredibly well for milk-based drinks (a tiny splash of heavy cream for me after pressing in Aeropress). The result? Velvety smooth coffee that is a tremendous mixture of an earthy chocolate and slight fruity aftertaste. Acidity is extremely low at this roast profile and I have never had anyone drink this that didn't declare it was their favorite coffee bean. No matter how much I try, I can never get into a home brewed or pressed "fruity" yirgacheffe due to the acidity. However, pushed through a high-end commercial machine at many boutique coffee shops like Heart Coffee here in Portland, absolutely. At home though, this bean is the most consistent. I have NEVER gone wrong with this bean and it holds up to espresso's (not full of bitterness) and milk-based drinks. IT IS INCREDIBLE!

I'm new to home roasting, but have tried a number of coffees. This one is one of my favorites, roasted to the beginning of second crack and prepared in a press pot this was an amazing cup. Not as chocolatey as the Brazil Sul de Minas, and not as bold as the Timor Organic Maubesse (not much is) but VERY smooth and more balenced than either.

This is my 3rd order of Ethiopia Organic Yirgacheffe FTO. So far I've had excellent and consistent flavor roast-to-roast. Very pleased. A word of advice: if you live in a super dry climate as I do (SE Arizona), you need to work out a way to stabilize humidity while the beans are stored before roasting e.g. sealed tubs/containers. This most recent batch came in a GrainPro bag so I'm ok this time, but the previous order was in a jute bag and suffered from further drying over the 1-2 months of sitting,

I just started roasting beans over a year ago, and I have tried many beans from different sources and about 8 or 9 from coffee bean corral. The Ethiopian Organic Yirgacheffe is by far my favorite. I roast it in my FreshRoast SR500, which notoriously roasts inconsistently, to 1st crack or to beginning 2nd crack, and that range has provides a nice cup. My palate is not refined enough to describe the flavor, but I do love this coffee! The South American coffees I have roasted have all been too sweet for me, but this organic African one suits my tastes perfectly.

I am new to roasting coffee. Ethiopian Yergacheffe is the second bean I've ever roasted and I love it. I'm sticking with it. It is good almost anyway its roasted, but my favorite is just as the second crack in ending. Then the coffee is smooth and kind in your mouth with deep rich flavors.

To be ckear, I have not roasted this as a regular drinkinging coffee yet. Purchased a pound to use as oart of a blend for a dark roast. It is in my perfect blend for dark roast, used for espresso and etc. 50% Brazilian, 25% Kenyan and 25% Sumatra. Technically, these should be all roasted separately rhen blended, but I roasted them all together. I am a popcorn popper roaster (love it), used 4 ounces of Brazillian, 2 ounces of Kenyan and 2 ounces of Sumatra for a 1/2 pound single roasting and it is incredible!

After reading all the positive reviews I decided to try this product out. The first batch did not come out right, as it was too chaffy and brewed weak and light. I figured this was due to stopping my roast just at first crack conclusion. So I just finished my second and final batch taking this to second crack. Chaffiness was gone, brewing was much better and darker. Taste is okay, nothing to get me excited. So bottom line, roast this to at least second crack.

Very Good coffee. First time trying African blends. I still like Caribbean coffee better, but this is still a good one. Roasted medium roast and it is still strong.

These beans definitely produce an absolutely amazing cup of coffee! Highly recommended! We roast to a medium dark and prepare it in a stovetop espresso maker, WOW!

We use to buy store bought. But NOT NO MORE. This coffee is so smooth and we have had no after taste. Just Wonderful. I will buy again and again. One other important thing for us. We use to have to buy and use a 1/2 gallon of milk a day making latte. We don't have to use much milk at all. We only use (1) 1/2 gallon a week. Now to many that's maybe not important. But to us, we able to buy our own green beans and roast them ourselves. Taking full advantages of nutritional values drinking within 7-10 days. We love the coffee beans here.

Home roaster for roughly 3 years now answer this is in my top 5 of all time. Usually roast this to a full city and I consistently get a prominent citrus note. I go for the atypical brews and this is delicious. Just ordered 5 more pounds.
