Mexico Organic Mocabe HG Chiapas Mexico: Organic Mocabe HG, Chiapas

I am a relatively new roaster, I've tried about 20 or so different beans, and this one was easily the best so far! Got compliments from everyone who tried it, a wonderfully mellow and buttery taste, I am buying more as soon as I post this...

I mixed these with the robusta beans that are also from the Chiapas Mountains of southern Mexico at a ratio of 1:1, and then roasted them for six minutes at 180 followed by six minutes at 215, and then finished up with five minutes at 240 to produce a nice medium-dark roast. With my little countertop JMS-270, that means that about 60% of them came out true medium-dark, 20% came out medium, and 20% came out dark. Now here's the important part: let these beans degas for three or four days before brewing. The result is a coffee blend that is smooth and rich (arabica) but also bold (robusta), and with one helluva strong caffeine kick. I've been selling 1-lb bags of the stuff like crazy at a competitive price under the name "Aztec Thunder - Pharmaceutical Grade."

I have ordered Chiapas coffee the last 3 times, previously under the user name [email protected]. The beans I received this time were decidedly different that the Chiapas I had ordered previously. The beans were 20% smaller and took a full 2 minutes more to roast and the taste is different. What's up? As stated, the beans I last received were different from previous Chiapas orders.

As goes with Mexican coffee it is not the worlds most carefully processed coffee, but with some amount of self sorting and poor quality bean removal this coffee can be a very bright flavorful cup.

Just experienced my very first cup of fresh home roasted Organic Mexican Chiapas coffee. The delicate full flavor and sensation is like nothing I have ever experienced. Who knew that a cast iron skillet, a very low heat and constant movement like popping popcorn could produce such a living brew full of all it’s suble nuances, antioxidants and beneficial health properties. I will never go back to store bought coffee again and going forward will purchase my coffee from the fine folks at Coffee Bean Coral. Looking forward to my next purchase. Thank you!

Just finished our sample roasts and cupping of this coffee. We kind of slacked a little on the number of samples we cupped because we had an idea of where we wanted to end up. Left me just start by saying, this coffee caught us off guard. I don't want to sound disparaging toward organic coffees, but they aren't always all that exciting. This one is different though. I took it to first crack a little faster than I usually do with organics, only about 6:30 with a drop temp set at 380. 1c is distinct and not gradual. You hear that first pop and then 1c got rolling within about 10 seconds, which makes recording 1c less subjective, and great for replicating the roast. We took the coffee about 1:45 past a good rolling 1c, with a ROR around 10 degrees per minute after 1c started. That got the coffee into City+ range, and a total roast time of only about 8:15 (for volume roasters, this ought to put a smile on your face). At city level, 1:15 after 1c, you get a great orange zest notes with super lively acidity. Just 30 seconds and 5 degrees later, the orangey-ness is just starting to fade and the floral and stone fruit notes peak. 10 degrees hotter, and they flatten out, chocolate becomes a bit more predominant, but the complexity quickly fades away. At city+ you get apricot-like stonefruit, mild floral notes, a well-balanced acidity, nice round-body, and beautiful nutty follow-through. This particular crop is at the top of my list this year. What a perfect morning joe!

I slow roast with a showtime electric roaster,55 minutes. Smooth and rich not acidy at all. If I light roast it is a little butter scotch in flavor.

Owning a coffee company is quite an adventure, and although this is a nice bean it's not one we would invest in. Definitely a friendly n drinkable cup, no outstanding highlights though. Mexican yesssss, good absolutely but not great either. Thanks we'll keep trying, I've given samples too many customers... I'll be enjoying this at the shop 🤓

Wow! What a great bean. Roasted it dark on open flame. Awesome flavor and really well balanced. I got lots of lemon in my batch not just notes of lemon it was almost as though it was flavored with lemon. Amazingly well balanced. Will be buying again.

I was unimpressed. No nose, not much flavor. I like Tanzania Peaberry much better.

I think this is something like my eighth order Organic Chiapas and every bag has been excellent. This batch seems to have more chaff but in all other regards it roasts like the previous deliveries. Excellent in the cup with nice chocolate flavor when taken to the start of 2nd crack. I'm hooked on this coffee!

I veinna roasted this and espresso ground it then rubbed it into steak. The flavor was amazing. This created a nutty smokey, lightly chocolate addition to the steak.

This is my go-to, standard bean order from Coffee Bean Corral. Mexican Chiapas has never let me down- I will try other beans but always need to have some of this on hand. Thanks Coffee Bean Corral!

very chocolatey, roasted dark

One of our favorites,I roast it to a med.dark and let it sit lightly covered bowl for about 4 to 5 days.I believe this is when the flavors really progress.

Good quality. I dark roast it and mix with Sumatra Mandheling Decaf for a pleasant half-caf.

My first time to order this,I roasted it dark to bring out the chocolate flavor.Its a smooth coffee with little acidity which I really appreciate.You can;t go wrong with this one!

Bought 5# on sale. Good coffee on Day 1.5. Expect to get better Day 3. Roasted just like I roast the Tarrazu just before SC. Pretty tasty for an organic. Like it!

Out of the many varieties of coffee beans I enjoy these have become some of my favorites. Roasted to a City+ I'm getting chocolate notes, smooth balanced flavor and a great mouthfeel.

This is a great roast with a very smooth and bold taste to it. Not very sweet as other coffees but very good base coffee for blends.

It's okay if I'm looking for a darker cup or as a base. I use it as a 50/50 with a sweet coffee for a nice french press cup.

My wife loves Mexican home roast. This offering roasts very easily in the Gene to city + . Mellow, soft on the palate, hints of milk chocolate, roasted nuts and fresh baked bread.

One of my favorite varieties. I roast just to 2nd crack. I'm not good at cupping reviews.

Our favorite daily drinker. Just enough acid to give it life, just sweet enough for richness, nice chocolate and nutty.

This was my first green bean roast. So take my review with that information. I roast on the stove with two spoons and a cast iron pan. The roast lasts 15-18 minutes, on medium heat because I'm in no hurry. I end up with a medium to dark roast that tastes and smells great. I chose this variety of bean because it was inexpensive and didn't want to experiment with expensive beans. Looks like I picked a good bean regardless. I love it !!

Love love love this Mexican coffee. Would definitely order it again. Thanks.

Very nice flavor. New to roasting my own coffee beans, but I am enjoying it. This coffee is fairly priced and was shipped so fast I was surprised how quickly it arrived. Thanks!!

This coffee is one of my favorites. It’s bold and chocolate taste is always the perfect cup in the morning. It’s never bitter. It’s incredibly easy to roast because the beans are small and tight. I get very little chaff off of the beans after roasting. This is a must have coffee in my house.

I was asked to roast and grind some of this coffee for a wedding. It was fantastic!

I like is good

I brew single cup, drip for each cup I drink. I grind it, measure it, allow it to steep about a minute then filter and drink. This coffee has a very mellow flavor with out a lot of tannin or bitter taste. I enjoy it and many of my friends who only drink fancy coffee-drinks, or who don’t think they like coffee at all like it.

Makes a great cup; beans are earthy and smooth with a hint of chocolate. I roast in my oven; the beans are very uniform in size and are clearly high quality. They are super easy to work with. Beans are fresh and well packaged. Delivery was expedient.

This is my everyday coffee. I basically use this for drip everyday coffee and then I will also flavor some for my family. This is really good, I like to roast it medium.

I have been persuaded to leave the dark side lol. this beautiful bean may be the one responsible for getting me to like anything not dark and shiny. My first few batches I did in my hot air popper and it just ruined them, either it never got hot enough to finish a roast (with the temperature sensor connected ) or it went too fast to an Italian roast. 😳🥺 So I decided to take some to work (pizza place) and tried the oven there. It has a conveyer belt set at 6min. And 450° which got me to first crack. after pushing them back in a bit they hit second crack and a few were showing signs of oil on the surface so I pulled em ... now that they set for a day I am drinking a beautiful cup of buttery goodness. 👍👍🤜💥🤛 If you haven't tried these beans and have the equipment to control your roast do yourself a favor and get some.

Great "all day" coffee. As others have noted, it is smooth and well-balanced. This is not necessarily my favorite coffee, as I prefer fruitier flavors, however, that is what makes it so good for all day sipping. And, as stated by others, I have received more compliments on this coffee than on any of my others. I find it does better when roasted a bit longer than I normally would. It is at its best right around the start of second crack. It is a good one to roast dark as well if you're into that sort of thing. I try to have a batch that's pretty dark for when my father comes over. In summary, it roasts well, it's a crowd pleaser, and it's hard to go wrong with this bean.
