I've been wondering about getting into roasting beans. I've been reading that the efforts are well worth it. But I'm just not sure if I could dedicate the time to another hobby. Especially if there's a long learning curve to get good results.
Maybe I'll have to look into some entry level roasters...

Well Dan, I think we're standing at the fork in the road together again. A coffee roaster never even crossed my mind but it looks like Kuan's link to
Sweet Maria's is going to cost me $179. for a
iRoast2.
It seems roasting would be a once a week 15 to 20 minute chore that will improve the quality and decrease the cost of something I enjoy every day. I'm surprised at the low price of the green beans, about $5 per lb. That's about half the price of least expensive whole roasted beans at my local grocers. Anyone know how much weight is lost in the roasting process?
If there's something I'm missing, somebody please explain it to me!
