@David_Chavianohaha not throwing coffee beans into the oven but I should probably try it just for the fun of it. I imagine the roast will not be that even in the end because the beans will not be moving during the roast process.
I guess my machine can be considered a specialised roaster... it is an Aillio Bullet R1 V2. Compared to the gas powered roaster I used when learning to the roast, where everything was manual and controlling the temperature was extremely difficult, the Bullet simplifies a lot the whole process.

@ajmaradiaga Is there a way to screen your beans for mycotoxins? Or is this just a matter of trusting your source?

**bleep** yes! I vaguely remember the Bulletproof coffee trend. However, my abnormally large consumption of peanut butter is the origin of my knowledge of the term 🙂
Edit - apparently the exclamation A_h! (Without the underscore) is censored as profanity here 😄

Hmm...maybe our smut filter is working a bit too well. I'll investigate. (BTW, thanks for clarifying. Naturally I initially assumed you must have typed something with an F or H... 🙂 ).

It just sounds like too much work to me. I love my irish breakfast black tea. But I buy it from Amazon. (loose leaf) So much easier.

I'm so glad you love it. It would be a nice hobby.
If I'm not too lazy reading books in the Winter - it might be something to look into. I heard that pine needles can be made into a nice tea. So perhaps I'll try something with that instead.

I've never done it myself, but I certainly respect the craft. I can imagine that it's quite satisfying to drink a cup of coffee for which you have sourced and roasted the beans yourself. That said, I'm a bit too lazy and need my caffeine fix without too much effort 😅

You could always try this wonderful invention! It may be a bit chilly outside right now, but it would keep the smells out of your house 🙂

I don't have the round tuits to roast beans myself though I am a coffee consumer. When my spouse worked at a department store warehouse we obtained a brand-name coffee grinder and maker in one. Previously, I'd sometimes grind the beans in one unit and brew the coffee in another, so this all-in-one sounded good. A few surprises learned along the way:
I toss the used grounds into the garden; they're supposed to be good for azaleas I think.
