Collection: El Quetzal Roaster Starter Pack

I profiled the Nicaragua Yellow Catuai from El Quetzal Coffee as a dark roast, even though it was recommended for a medium profile, and I am glad I trusted my instincts. The darker roast brings out a bold, rich flavor with excellent body, smooth depth, and the kind of strong, satisfying character I want in a dark coffee.

I loved the finished roast so much that it became the foundation of Front Line Hero, which now headlines my coffee lineup as my number-one seller. This coffee has quickly become a customer favorite and represents everything I wanted Front Line Hero to stand for: bold flavor, strength, consistency, and purpose.

Through iHonorUSA.com, I am also actively sending Front Line Hero to deployed U.S. service members so they can enjoy a small creature comfort from home. As a veteran, being able to share one of my best coffees with the men and women serving overseas makes this roast especially meaningful to me.

I profiled the Nicaragua Washed Java from El Quetzal Coffee as a medium-light roast, and I could not have been more impressed with the results. The flavor is incredible. As soon as the beans came out of the roaster and I smelled the aroma, I knew this profile was going to work.

I now use this coffee at my café for espresso-based drinks as well as cold brew. It has a wonderful body and a rich, balanced flavor that stands up beautifully in milk-based beverages. In cold brew, the body and natural sweetness really help bring out and complement the flavors of the syrups without allowing them to overpower the coffee.

Fantastic coffee, highly recommend. Will be buying again

Such a wonderful coffee bean! Roasted it light and the carmel-apple combo sings

What a delicious bean. I ordered two 150g sample pack and roasted one six days ago, to a 13.3% moisture loss; a light to light-medium roast in my Kaleido M1 Lite. A rich, full-bodied coffee with more sweet notes of various fruits than my palate can discern. I will be ordering five pounds in the near future.

Our guests loved this and couldn't believe how smooth and tasty it was. Makes good lattes and brewed coffees. I was losing hope in Nicaraguan coffee and am happy I decided to try these.

I've enjoyed this for lattes and pour overs by itself and blended with other coffees. Best Nicaraguan coffee I've tried to date.

The very best, easiest coffee's to roast. Perfect every time. Great smooth taste.

Great bean for milk based espresso drinks! Roasted to a med-dark and has been a huge hit in our espresso drinks! We will be ordering more of these beans!!

Really enjoying this green! Been my daily driver espresso beans.

I roasted on my Kaffelogic Nano 7 with Washed profile at both 0.8 light roasting and 12.8 DTR setting and they are both great. At first I had hard time getting some of the floral notes. I tried coarse ground and faster recipe and tasted great.

Very good Mild Coffee, gear for people who enjoy a lifhter cup of coffee no bitter aster taste Coco's Coffee Durham NH

Excellent taste. Quick delivery. Reasonable price. What else could one ask for in search of green coffee beans. Will definitely order more in the future.

Ordered up a bag of each variety, First roasted this SHG 10 to 15 seconds into 2nd crack, The green beans are very clean, could not find any defects, shipped in Grainpro bags. let it sit for 2 days and now having my first shot of double espresso. Great crema and full bodied taste, chocolate and cocoa with a nice bitter aftertaste. Looking forward to roasting more.

Amazing balance between bitterness and acidity of the coffee. Thank you
