How does "home" roasting work? I've always wondered this. What I mean is....what goes into it?
You buy some green coffee, usually in bulk since it does not detiriate for at least a year. Then you use either a dedicated home roaster of which there are a few types at different price points or some device converted from another use, like a popcorn popper.
If I have time, I like the Pikes Roast @ Starbucks. Black w/ splenda. Every once in a while, I have them drop a shot of espresso if I'm feeling slower than normal.
