Unroasted beans buying advice (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I want to start home roasting but I'm not sure where\what to buy as far as beans go as a Canadian buyer. I did a quick check on Amazon (which I try to avoid buying from) and found the cheapest beans are about 14 CAD per pound, but I'm not sure that it's that good of a deal and I don't know what quality I'm getting.

Any advice is appreciated.

Edit: found a supplier: https://terracaf.ca/

That's right, I was including the cost of the roaster, the other paraphernalia you would end up needing while using it, the cost of running it with electricity prices, the cost of the green beans plus delivery and the cost of any wasted beans through my inexperience - and comparing that to the price I currently pay, with the variety I have available. The tinkering with the roast times, temperatures and different beans appeals to me and I'd like to see the product of my own hard work, so I applaud those who do roast their own. If you're able to do this with very little cost and minimal equipment that's awesome! Keep us updated with your experiences of roasting, lots of coffe fans will be happy to hear - keep up the good work!
