Ive been wanting to roast some coffee for a little while now. I found a seller for green coffee in my area so I walked out with 8oz of roasted and 4 oz of green. I always thought roast was more difficult then it is.
A basic cast iron and a burnt down fire. *caution: pan gets hot! Medium high heat and I have to keep the beans moving constantly. There are two crackings when roasting. The first one means it's up to temp, the second one marks when the coffee is dark vs light roast. I pulled these off before the second crack.
Turned out a little darker then I was shooting for. They smell great.
It's a little course but it should work. I don't have a grinder so my blender has to do. It's hard to make a fine grind with so few beans.
I only have a chemex but it makes a heck of a cup of coffee. I'd like to try a French press but those get pricy.
BLAM! From green to delicious in about 30 minutes.
Almost anybody can roast there own coffee. Just need a pan, some heat, and a little patience.

Pretty sure I drink coffee cause I skimped on sleep cause I wanted more time to look at dank memes not spend 30 minutes roasting it

I had a lot of fun using an old Poppery II hot air popcorn maker. Does a couple ounces at a time. Chaff flies everywhere.

Gotta stop roasting shortly after first crack. Be sure to use some kind of fan to cool.

Try 'Turkish' coffee, just put the grind in your cup and hot water. The grind will sink. It's a great cup of coffee, just mind the last sip

Where do you live that a chemex is cheaper than a french press? I've had some pretty good ones for ~$10-15 USD, but your chemex is over $30

No cookie, you didn't notice course/coarse

Coffee roaster here. For best results I recommend resting the coffee in a loosely sealed container for about a week before drinking. Enjoy!

Do you know how resting the coffee changes the flavor?

The excess co2 inhibits even extraction by the water of soluble particles. Results are unbalanced and overly acidic

The coffee releases gases in the few days after roasting, they can make it taste a bit funky. It needs time to stabilise

Thank you for the info.
