Anyone roast coffee beans at home?

[earache]

I've been roasting about 6 years. Use a Hottop programmable. Most of my beans have come from Sweet Marias, but I do belong to a few green bean coops and have made some large volume purchases from them. I mostly roast for espresso, so don't do large volumes, maybe about a pound a week. It's a lot cheaper than buying from my local roaster and I get better quality too.

Tofer makes a really good suggestion about testing the waters with a popper. That's what sucked me in.
