Its simple! First, select the method of roast that you will use, whether it is pan-roasting on top of your kitchen stove, using a hot-air popcorn popper, or with a home roaster specifically designed for home roasting coffee beans. Be careful if you are selecting a method such as using a hot-air popcorn popper, as all poppers are not suitable for roasting, and could result in a fire and serious injuries! Do some research before you decide to use an "alternative" method of roasting. The safest way to home roast is to stick with a well designed and built home roaster. You do NOT need to spend a fortune on a home roaster, there are roasters now on the market that are very affordable, and do a great job of roasting.
Once you have selected a roaster that will suit your needs, the next step is to learn a little about the roasting process. See our other sections under "All about Home Roasting" for more information on the roasting process.
The final step of roasting, is to purchase the beans you will use to create your favorite cup. There are many out there, some good, some bad. Stick with a reputable bean dealer, like Bald Mountain, and you wont be sorry. Our beans are carefully selected to suit our discriminating tastes, if we dont like them, you wont either, so... we dont sell "bad beans", period.
