Been roasting my own beans for some months. Thought I’d share my latest batch, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe (lemmy.nz)

Really enjoying roasting my own coffee these last several months. I got tired of inconsistent, too dark batches when I was ordering light and medium roasts from Fresh Roasted Coffee.

I roast stovetop, using a stainless steel popcorn popper, this one for anybody interested.

Took the photos just after roasting, they’ll lighten up a bit more as they cool and gas off, from past experience.

It’s a bit better but still not cheap. I buy for instance yirgacheffe at 19 euro/kg green beans. Roaster (itop) costs about 650. I presume stove top roaster is a bit cheaper . So it still is money. But if I compare it to roasted beans from my local hipsters it can be around 30-60 euro/kg
