Nice. What equipment do you use for roasting? Good results?
I have a Fresh Roast SR-500, with the extension tube (long story about getting that after it had been discontinued). Usually get my beans from homeroastcoffee.com but I just ordered some from coffeebeancorral.com
I get pretty consistent results, but it took a lot of fiddling to figure out my process for best results. I now get a pretty consistent result with 8 oz of green beans.
Looks good!
I got started with a whisk, a pan, and a colander for cooling. You really don't need anything expensive to get started.
I am currently using a $20 air popcorn popper, and while there is some variance between roasts the result is still loads better than store bought imo.
