I'm roasting as I write this. Have been doing this for years. I use a Behmor 1600 as well. It gives you a lot of control over the process and is fairly tidy. I put it on the stove/ under the hood and that gets the smoke outside reliably.
I roast about once every ~5 days. 1/2 pound- takes 15 min but I can eat breakfast, drink coffee, read about RBW while it churns away. Most of the independent roasters around here (Sacramento) will sell green beans- lots of choice. Pachamama also does a lot of mail order- they work directly with growers so I feel very good about buying from them. Of course grinding beans just before brewing (with a burr grinder) gives you the greatest quality bump, of you aren't already doing that. I've got a good manual grinder for bike tours and business travel. Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
