Those hand crank popcorn poppers can be pretty good at roasting your own coffee, if you're interested.

  I don't know about others, but I for one would like to learn more. Do you have any links or further info?

    http://legacy.sweetmarias.com/stovepopmethod.php http://legacy.sweetmarias.com/stovepopmethod.php I've been roasting coffee stovetop for about a year. Takes me about 10 minutes to roast 12 ounces, the result is great, and it only ends up costing about $1/lb more than what I used to pay for roasted beans at Costco. If you like coffee at all, I highly recommend giving it a try!

      Yep - me too, and I've used a variety of beans from that same source to great effect. Good luck. Also, if you're in the bay area, I'll be happy to give you a demo if you need it.

      I used that for a while, eventually we switched to a hot air popper which seemed to do a better job with less fuss. Then, in December, I got a Behmor 1600+ which is really nice.
