A coffee connoisseur you are. I’m just a snob, but want to be a connoisseur.
Keep working at it. You'll make it some day. LOL
One of the things that I like about roasting my own coffee is that green beans are cheaper than pre-roasted by a dollar or so a pound. Of course, the roaster itself nullifies that savings somewhat, as the better ones aren't very cheap. Last time I bought coffee, I got about 18 pounds. With any luck that will last me a while. Green coffee will keep for about 2-3 years if you store it in a cool, dry place.
If you decide to try out the roasting thing, check out Sweet Marias. They have everything from green coffee to roasters.
