I know some of you roast and grind your own coffee. How about sharing some experiences, successes, failures, etc. I've been roasting for a couple of years using a hot-air popcorn popper. Great fun and great coffee!
The History Channel just had a show on tonight about coffee! Part of the show dealt with the roasting process, as well as other details about coffee.
Tell me a little more about the Fresh Roast 8. How many watts? The Poppery II machine I'm using is rated at 1200 watts but seems to take way too long to complete the roast. Where did you get your roaster? Do you buy beans online?I enjoy roasting coffee on a little Fresh Roast 8 which is a hot air roaster. Its a neat little machine kind of like a hot air popcorn popper. It does a great job roasting small batches of coffee. I like to make espresso and cappucino on the weekends. Plus buying green coffee beans is cheap like DE blades vs. cartridges and the green beans keep for a long time.
Ya might want to talk to Dinder.
Apparently he knows a little something about coffee.

Does anyone use a vacuum brewer for their coffee? I'm interesting in trying one out.
