The Magical Fruit
The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

I like how it turns out using this method, although I suspect that there might be some bean varieties where it wouldn't work out. I tend to brew with a moka pot and the resulting cup has a delightful depth to it. You can cut the time considerably by raising the oven temp.
I generally don't do that because I tend to get a less even roast and/or end up with a darker roast than I want due to inattention. If the human element in my equation were more reliable, I'd be roasting at well over 400F.
