My brother roasts his own, and I love sampling the different blends available
at the small roasting companies near me (there are four). I haven't yet
jumped over the fence to the true fanaticism of the home roaster.
I did, and I'm not going back. It appeals to my overclocking
sensibility to abuse a hot-air popcorn popper to roast coffee, my affinity
to good coffee for espresso and regular coffee, and my cheapness gene to
do it all for less than a "good" cup of regular (starbucks-equivalent).
