Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

So how do you even get into home roasting to start?

Because why not? "it's gonna be a fun hobby", "my local roaster is too expensive, it will pay for itself in 3 years", "I wanna try beans I can't find at my local roaster's"...

Oh it wasn't a why bother question. I meant as in like guides or equipment you read up on before starting. It's sounds interesting to do

Oh sorry for misunderstanding 😅

I watched a lot of videos to understand the basic principles, read a lot of forums and blog posts about roasting and the gene in particular, completely fucked up my first 5 roasts, tried half a dozen "recipes" before finding something that works for me 😅
