Green Ground Coffee

Green Ground Coffee is made from green Arabica coffee beans that are ground without being roasted. That makes it something quite different from your usual black coffee, and you prepare it differently too.

After grinding, the coffee has been briefly heated to give it a more pleasant, nuttier taste. Would you rather roast green beans yourself? Take a look at our unroasted coffee.

How to prepare it

Add one tablespoon (15 g) of green coffee to about 200 ml of water, roughly a large teacup or mug.
Leave it to steep for about 10 minutes.
Pour it through a filter, such as a coffee filter, and throw away the grounds.

Please note

Contains caffeine. Keep out of reach of children. Not recommended for under-18s or for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Customer Questions

Is this coffee really unroasted? And why does it still smell and taste somewhat mild/nutty?

Yes, this is truly unroasted green coffee. The beans are briefly and lightly heated to make the flavour somewhat more pleasant and nutty, and to eliminate bacteria. As a result, the coffee has a milder, nuttier taste than completely raw beans, without the intensity and bitterness of roasted coffee.

What is the flavour profile of this green ground coffee? Do I need to get used to the taste?

Green ground coffee has a completely different flavour profile compared to regular, roasted coffee. The taste is nutty, slightly spicy, sometimes a bit vegetal and less bitter than black coffee, but certainly also less full-bodied. Many customers indicate that it takes some getting used to at first, but that the taste is very enjoyable after brewing it a few times. Tip: if you like, try it the first few times with a little honey or lemon.

How do I best prepare this green coffee? Can I use it in a French press or cafetière?

For preparing this green ground coffee, we recommend using one tablespoon (±15g) of coffee per 200 ml of hot water and letting it steep for about 10 minutes. Then filter the mixture using, for example, a coffee filter, or pour it directly from your French press or cafetière. Several customers successfully use a French press for preparation, provided that you separate the coffee grounds well after steeping.

Does this green ground coffee contain caffeine and is it suitable for daily use?

Yes, this green coffee does contain caffeine, usually even slightly more than roasted coffee. You can drink it daily like any other coffee-based drink: simply count the caffeine towards your total for the day, as you would with an espresso or a filter coffee. If you prefer to keep caffeine down in the evening, it is best enjoyed earlier in the day.

How is this product packaged? Does it stay fresh for a long time?

The green ground coffee is delivered in a sturdy, resealable bag. This ensures that the product stays fresh after opening. Several customers mention that the packaging is convenient and fits easily through the letterbox.
