Where to Buy Green Coffee Beans for Home Roasting in Malaysia
Where can you buy green coffee beans for home roasting in Malaysia?
Green coffee beans for home roasting in Malaysia are sold on Bloom Daily (bloomdaily.io), an online marketplace operated by Big Jpresso Sdn Bhd. The green lots listed there are supplied by Beansology, not roasted or grown by Jpresso. Jpresso itself only sells roasted coffee, but if you want to learn how to roast the beans you buy, Jpresso Academy teaches that, starting with an online course at RM59.
What "green coffee beans" means, and why home roasters look for them
Green coffee beans are the raw, unroasted seeds of the coffee cherry — pale green, dense, and grassy-smelling rather than aromatic. Roasting is what develops the brown colour, aroma and flavour you recognise as coffee. Home roasters buy beans green because it lets them control roast level and roast date themselves, and because unroasted beans generally hold their quality longer in storage than already-roasted beans. That's the basic appeal behind the home-roasting hobby, in Malaysia and elsewhere.
Buying green coffee beans through Bloom Daily
Jpresso is a specialty coffee roastery — we buy green coffee and roast it ourselves, to order, for wholesale, subscription and retail customers. We don't sell raw, unroasted beans directly. If you're after green coffee beans to roast at home, those are listed separately on Bloom Daily (bloomdaily.io), the marketplace Big Jpresso Sdn Bhd runs alongside the roastery. The green lots on Bloom Daily are supplied by Beansology, a green coffee supplier — they aren't grown, imported or roasted by Jpresso, and shouldn't be confused with Jpresso's own roasted beans.
Origins and lots on Bloom Daily rotate as new stock arrives, so check the listing for what is currently available and priced.
What to check before you buy green coffee beans (general guide)
Whichever supplier you buy from, a few things affect how your home roast turns out:
- Crop year / harvest date — fresher-crop beans tend to roast more predictably than beans that have sat in storage across several seasons.
- Processing method — washed, natural and honey-processed beans behave differently in the roaster and taste different in the cup, so it helps to know which process you're buying before you start.
- Moisture content — unroasted beans are usually sold somewhere around 10–12% moisture; beans well outside that range can roast unevenly.
- Altitude and origin — higher-grown arabica beans are generally denser and often need a slightly longer roast to develop fully.
- Lot size — home roasters usually buy smaller quantities than cafes, since green beans are roasted in small batches on home equipment rather than commercial drums.
These are general points for sourcing green coffee anywhere — not specific to any one supplier's current stock.
Learning to roast the beans you buy
Buying the beans is only half the job. Roasting them evenly, at the right temperature, for the right time, takes practice — and that's where Jpresso Academy comes in. Jpresso Academy teaches coffee roasting in three tiers. Each is a one-time payment and includes everything in the tier before it:
| Tier | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Roasting Course | RM59 | Online, self-paced video course with lifetime access |
| 1-to-1 Consultation | RM299 | The online course plus a 2-hour hands-on session at the roastery |
| Lifetime Support | RM599 | Everything in the Consultation plus lifetime WhatsApp access for roasting questions |
These are Jpresso's own in-house programme. The Academy courses are not SCA certified and are not HRD Corp claimable. The RM59 Roasting Course is online only, so you can take it from anywhere in Malaysia. The hands-on session in the two higher tiers takes place at the roastery in Bandar Sri Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. No barista qualification is needed for any of them: the course starts with the fundamentals.
If you'd rather skip the roasting
Not everyone who buys green coffee beans sticks with home roasting — it takes equipment, time, and a few uneven batches before it gets consistent. If you decide you'd rather drink good coffee without the learning curve, Jpresso roasts 100% Arabica beans to order and sells them two ways for home use:
- Retail 250 g bags from RM34 (most bags RM34 to RM44), with single-origin specials from RM59 to RM76 (Sumatra Kerinci RM59, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe RM71, Colombia La Leona RM76), across origins including Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Indonesia, plus house blends.
- A monthly subscription — espresso roast at RM34 or filter roast at RM63 per 250 g bag, free delivery across Peninsular Malaysia (RM15 a month to East Malaysia), cancel any time.
Both are ordered through bloomdaily.io, the same platform that lists Bloom Daily's green coffee.
FAQ
Does Jpresso sell green coffee beans directly?
No. Jpresso roasts and sells roasted coffee beans — wholesale, subscription and retail. Green coffee beans for home roasting are listed separately on Bloom Daily (bloomdaily.io), supplied by Beansology.
What's the difference between green and roasted coffee beans?
Green coffee beans are the raw, unroasted seed of the coffee cherry — pale, dense and grassy-smelling. Roasting applies heat that develops the brown colour, aroma and flavour associated with coffee, and changes the bean's weight, density and chemical structure in the process.
Can beginners roast green coffee beans at home?
Home roasting is commonly done on basic equipment such as a stovetop pan, a popcorn popper or a dedicated home roaster, with results improving as you practice. Jpresso Academy's RM59 Roasting Course is an online, self-paced video course that starts with the fundamentals, and no barista qualification is needed.
Does Jpresso Academy teach you how to roast beans bought elsewhere?
Jpresso Academy teaches roasting itself, whichever beans you go on to buy. The Roasting Course (RM59) is online and self-paced. The 1-to-1 Consultation (RM299) adds a 2-hour hands-on session at the roastery in Bandar Sri Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. Lifetime Support (RM599) adds lifetime WhatsApp access for roasting questions.
Is Jpresso Academy SCA certified or HRD Corp claimable?
No. Jpresso Academy is Jpresso's own in-house training programme. It is not SCA certified and is not HRD Corp claimable.
