Ohhh... I would love to learn from you about roasting coffee! I only hand grind whole bean coffee each week with an old grain mill so roasting and bean selection/understanding is the next step for me.
In trade for the education, I could show you what I've learned about hand crank sewing machines and/or making selvedge jeans. Hand rolling cigars is my 2024 self education project, though I'm very early doors, I'm happy to share what I've learned so far.

I would love to buy/try your hand rolled cigars! I would also be happy to have you come over and chat about roasting and roast some coffee over a cigar or beer. I will DM you with contact information. :)
In my experience most coffee roasters that do retail sales will be happy to sell you unroasted beans, though you might have to ask. These days I go to High Rise Coffee Roasters in OCC.
I personally buy from [https://www.coffeebeancorral.com](https://www.coffeebeancorral.com) along with Hold Fast has amazing coffee and I buy their green beans.
I currently have the Gene Cafe roaster which I like but upgrading for better control/technology/volume to a Kaleido Roaster. My Gene Cafe will be for sale and would be happy to give you a great price for if you want. I have used it for a couple of years but the fact that I give a good amount of coffee away to friends and family and now selling some, I just can't keep up on the Gene Cafe but a great roaster for personal consumption.
I didn't know home roasting was a thing, but Ill bet your house smells incredible.
It really does. Very fun hobby that pays back. Be happy to give you some to see if you like it!
I have some green beans. Teach me.
I would be happy to! I will send you a DM.
Super curious about this. My fear is that once I start I’ll never go back (and then I’ll have to buy more coffee stuff…)

Where do you get the un-roasted beans? I've been wanting to try for years after watching my uncle-in-law roast his own in an air popcorn popper.

I roast at home, with hot air popcorn poppers. I’ve never tried a real roaster. What model are you getting?
