Hey JavaJo. Ditto for me to all of Shaun's answers below, except I tend to be lazy and get my beans from Sweet Maria's in CA. I started with an iRoast 1.0, and it was nice. But no comparison to the Hottop in my experience.
The cost is about 1/3 of roasted beans (maybe $5 or so per pound, which yields about 13-14 ounces of roasted coffee), not to mention the fact that you get to choose every variable for yourself. best, bmc "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel....." > From: Shaun Taylor <[email protected]> > Reply-To: <[email protected]> > Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:20:10 -0600 > To: <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: DO ANY OF YOU ROAST YOUR OWN BEANS? > > > Yes, I've been roasting my own beans for approx 4-5yrs. > > 1) HotTop. > 2) Always do. > 3) Easy. > 4) Green Coffee Buying Club, http://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/ > 5) Once you do it you'll never go back.
