I saw another member, @Belt fed , made a comment in the Aeropress thread about roasting your own. My wife noticed I had become a little obsessive about coffee about a year ago and bought me a gift assortment of green coffee beans and a grinder for christmas. We had an air popper that got retasked as a roaster and I havent looked back since. Very satisfying to order small amounts of beans from far away places and roast them yourself. I have learned a lot in the last year.
For the record, the first bag out of my gift box of green coffee beans has turned into my favorite, Dominican Republic Ramirez Estate Honey processed beans. At first the flavors from these beans were overwhelming to my folgers tainted palate but it is what I have come to expect from my coffee now. I cant even drink grocery store coffee anymore. Anyone else roast their own?
