Head Chef
I once went to a book signing event, and there was a fragrant table serving coffee. One person was grinding and pressing individual cups. The other person was hand-cranking a small bingo cage, filled with beans, attached to a small propane burner (cans are readily available at camping equipment stores). A home coffee bean roaster! I had never seen anything like it before.
My local Safeway grocery store has a fresh roast station, so I often simply ask the barrista, not for a particular bean, but "which bin is still hot?" and buy a pound to try. Along with a tub of Folgers, the darker the better.
Does anyone have experience roasting their own beans?
