Anyone roast coffee beans at home?

I am nixing the popcorn popper to gain in safety. But I have read to never, for a moment leave any roaster and to be prepared for fire. The other reason is burnt beans.

I hear this a lot, but the popper really only takes 5 minutes, so it's not really that hard to stand close by for the whole cycle. You know the roast is done by the sound, sight, and smell; depending on how dark I feel like, I generally go until the second crack and then just watch it until it gets to the color I'm looking for.
