Well my Brother, since you took the bait, I have a question:If I can do it, you can too. It is not rocket science, my friend. You might like it. You can start off by roasting in a cast iron skillet. You can't roast a lot at a time, but it will let you see if you like it. Put a single layer of beans in a cast iron skillet and put it on the grill (it will create smoke, so it is not ideal to do indoors). Stir the beans every 20 seconds or so. They will eventually hit first crack, which is when it sounds a lot like popcorn popping. Once it stops, you can take it off the grill or roast it a bit longer for a darker flavor.

Personally, I don't think it smells bad at all. Starting with a cast iron, if you have one, is the cheapest way to start. I haven't tried the popper, but I follow some forums where people have been very successful with them. Sweet Maria's has information about them on their website. There are also a few threads on B&B about roasting, as I am not the only one. If you are interested in trying some roasting, PM me and we can talk more about it.Well my Brother, since you took the bait, I have a question:
Have you ever used a "Whirly Pop" popcorn popper to roast coffee? And how bad is the smell? My wife doesn't like or drink coffee but loves the smell.

Does it involve a straight jacket?Your file is QUITE large. I know you know what that's all about.
I roast in a black steel pan, I generally don't notice any carryover so long as I wipe it out well.Does it ruin your cast iron skillet for other things?
Now he's just braggin' folks! He knows I'm too ADHD to roast coffee! I'd burn my house down!
Ha! Thanks for fixing that! I have read it. It ALMOST sucked me into ANOTHER rabbit hole. The War Department is NOT a coffee drinker. No further peace talks at this time.Have you read this thread?
Easy way to roast coffee that anyone can do
This is another of my long winded posts covering the mysterious world of coffee. How to roast fresh coffee without hardly trying. Frying pan coffee roasting is probably one of the simpler ways to roast coffee. It is also the one that requires all of your attention. Everyone should know how to...www.badgerandblade.com
I used to say I like my coffee like I like my women, but now everyone gets all upset when I say that.
Hot black and sweet.Hot, Black, and not too sweet? I say something like this just about anytime I order an Irish Coffee at the pub.
Even after a convincing lecture from Mike about the virtue of using a French Press to strain the coffee, I still prefer to use an unbleached filter in a small strainer. I strain right into the cup. EZ. PZ.
O.H.
I worry the filter will catch all the oils. Otherwise it sounds like a good system
