Yes, you can roast coffee beans in a hot air popcorn popper, and you can grind them is any run of the mill spice grinder (which cost less because they don’t have the words “fine coffee” on them, but are otherwise identical.)

Thanks - I may have to try that. I'm still a fan of the Braun grinders, though - incredible amount of torque in them, and you can see just how fine your grind is as you go. It requires a bit of an artistic eye to having one; there are no grind-specific knobs, or push-once conveniences to them; just a single blade and a safety button at the top of the cup. Once you master it, though, you can brew The Cup Of The Gods. And I think we coffee aficionados can agree that, no matter the means and methods, the end result is nothing that you're going to get out of a can of Maxwell House.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

--H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
