do NOT fear the roaster ! - 2007/06/21 10:21 Colin says: "coffee roasting (however exhilarating and spritual an activity...) is way more demanding and exacting than you think. And I am talking to you and you and you!" and that scared me off for several weeks. However, other people suggested it is easier than that (at least until you actually do have a fire!) - so I gradually became convinced and bought a decent roaster and some beans online.

First batch sucked but (after a slight re-calculation) the second one totally ROCKED! My wife preferred an americano made with my roasted beans over one made with the espresso blend used and sold by Cafe Fantastico. (no... she's not the kind to just say that either!)

Home roasting is not that hard, or messy, or even smelly (if you've got a decent range hood fan). You can do it! It is easy, cheaper (not counting the cost of the roaster) and probably better than what you can buy roasted.

Be encouraged! Be brave! Do NOT fear the roaster...
