Drumroaster Cafe

Spot on review Bert - too many cafes have so much to learn.
The Drumroaster is a great place to start learning how it should be done.

Depending on where you are located: In Canada, there is Green Beanery in Ontario...
and in the U.S. there is Sweet Marias.

I tend to steer clear of home roasting. I have done it. I will not do it again.
It is smokey, messy and, in my opinion, should be left to the pros.

To me, coffee is so precious, the roasting of which should not be in
the hands (other than very small batches...) of anyone but experts.

Sure, whip up a few ounces here and there with a small corn popper.

Great coffee deserves better treatment.
That said, I have supplied my entire lab with great in-house roasted
coffee using a, now defunct (I believe) Hearthware Coffee roaster...

I do not currently know enough about the machines out there to make any
statements about them.
