Home roasting tips? (self.coffee)

I’ve been thinking about getting into home roasting, anyone got any tips of first roasters and places to check out for green beans? I was thinking a SR800 with extension tube from sweet Maria’s and the green coffee there as well but love to hear other thoughts!

I’ve been using a Gene Cafe for a couple years and have had no desire to buy commercially available beans since.

They have some great local roasters around me but I feel like all they do is medium-dark roasts that are way past Full City most of the time and I wanted a cheaper and more fun way to have coffee the way I like it

Consider the Gene Cafe. It’s super easy to use and I’ve been very happy with it.

According to some, light roasts are not its specialty but are definitely still possible. I’ve had success but admittedly don’t have a highly discerning palate.
