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.

Are there any other home-roasters in the community? I live in an area where the commercially available coffee tends to be pre-ground and stale. Over the years, I've started roasting my own coffee. Feel free to chime in to this post if you do the same or if you're curious about it and we can compare notes on technique!

Heck yeah, I've been home-roasting since 2007-ish.

What are you roasting on? I'm using a drum roaster heated by a turbo oven.

I'm intrigued. When I look up drum roasters, I see a lot of different things. Same goes for turbo oven, so I'm having a bit of difficulty visualizing your setup. Can you put up a photo or some model numbers?

Okay, I'm seriously impressed. A buddy of mine has a garage setup where he uses a turbo oven lid with a rotary popcorn popper base, but this looks like a MUCH better way to get even roasting on the beans. What a great project!
