I’m with you here. I built my own coffee roaster using a modified flour sifter and heat gun from Harbor Freight. I used Ecuadorian coffee beans when I lived there but now use Costa Rica and Colombian. I take my roast about 30 Seconds into second pop. I only roast seven days worth of beans and use an espresso machine to make my Americano.

Your coffee roaster is clever! Years ago, read about an amazing variety of ingenious homemade coffee roasters. One that caught my eye was a drum roaster on a BBQ rotisserie spit.

Costa Rica and Columbia have great coffees.
