It depends on when and where you buy it. Harvest for the Costa Rican Tres Rios that I buy is from Dec-March. That's the time to buy for that area. Coffee prices vary quite a bit throughout the year and by region.

Unless I'm pressed by low inventory, I'll monitor prices starting next month and buy when I can get the best price. Depending on the price, I'll buy one or two years supply. Green beans keep well, and I do all my own roasting.

You roast them in your oven I presume? At what temp and for how long would you roast to obtain a "medium" roast? Do you put them on a cookie sheet? Do you have to stir them as they roast? Thanks in advance for your responses. (

It has to smell wonderful at your place when you roast coffee.

One last question please, John. Do you store the green coffee beans in the burlap sacks or do you repackage into a sturdy container? Any problem with bugs in the burlap sacks?

OK, that was two questions......:^)
