A kg off Robusta! That is a lot of funny tasting coffee?
I see. How do you roast your beans and what method do you use for making coffeeYes, it's for blending with the others - it's sometimes nice to throw some robusta in with the arabica for a bit of extra kick. I only roast in very small batches so the kilo of green robusta will last me for ages (green beans stay fresh for a very long time).

Only interested as I am interested in maybe trying roasting myself. I already have many different ways to make coffee but fancy blending and roasting
Thanks for the info. I not sure I will try it though, if I was to roast I think I would get a small roaster such as a Gene Cafe. However there are so many small independent roaster now you are spoilt for choice and price. I get through about 500g of beans a week and mainly drink espresso but I am really getting into brewed coffee of late
I'm not a fan of the lighter roasts, nor the very dark roast anymore. But always willing to keep trying any!
There is a roaster call Rave and they do a blend called Italian Job, these have a small amount of high quality Robusta added and I have to say it's a decent blend. Good in milk and very Italian in flavour profile. Added advantage of being only £9.50 a kilo!
I've been stuck on the Rave Italian blend for over a year now. A 1kg bag lasts me about 4 weeks, I like it so much that I can't be bothered to try anything else
