As we don't go through enough coffee to make buying roasted coffee via mail order very economic once postage is taken into account, I thought that I'd give home roasting a try.
Local Lidl store had a popcorn maker on offer for a fiver so one now sits at home and I've sourced some green beans from HB :
Green Ethiopian Longberry Harrar and Green Brazil Espresso perfeito Blend : whilst buying these I also though it an idea to buy the HB roasted version also so that I could see what their roasted version looked like and I could maybe aspire to achieving similar !
I've read about going through first and second cracks but I wonder what beginners tips there are for roasting using my type of machine to achieve a respectable roast ?
