Being a frugal do-it-yourself kind of guy, I just bought 12 kg of green coffee beans sourced from Kenya, Guatamala and Colombia (all arabica high altitude hard beans) that I'm roasting in my Behmor 1600 toaster-oven-looking coffee roaster, to about a Vienna level, blending, and then making my coffee in a french press. Easy and tasty.

What's the price for green beans in bulk like that?

You have to get a dripolator, just for the fun of the method. Look em up.

Those are great little home roasters. Nice choice!

Living in Costa Rica I have learned to appreciate medium roast, to taste more of the berry. I make it in an aeropress or with the Tico sock. nostr:npub1t289s8ck5qfwynf2vsq49t2kypvvkpj7rhegayrur0ag9s2sezaqgunkzs can relate

I usually do medium roasts. For some reason I decided to go darker recently.

I just compared my beans to some pictures online. I'm at either City+ or Full City, not Vienna. There was no second crack, no oils on the surface.

Roasting coffee is something I could never give up. Cheaper (if you buy in bulk), fresher, and tastes amazing.
