Stop Paying $10/lb for Coffee- Roast Your Own

I got tired of paying anywhere from $8-$10/pound for gourmet coffee. But I saw the light when I met a fellow coffee snob who turned me on to the wonderful taste of fresh roasted coffee. Once you've tasted the difference between old stale coffee and the robust fresh-roasted flavor you'll become a believer in roasting your own.
For a mere $180 investment in a state of the art i-Roast2 roaster, you'll be roasting like Starbucks in a snap. Plus the savings you'll receive from not buying that old stale $10/pound coffee will let you pay off that $180 in no time; green beans start at around $4/pound. Where to get started? Sweet Marias is the place where to buy the i-Roast2 and also order your green beans. Each bean (you have 70 different beans types to choose from) has an analysis webpage and commentary describing its origin, quality and taste. Sweet Marias offers all kinds of other roasters and the help to get you started. Delivery from Oakland to Seattle via UPS is quick too. Roast Your Own- this piece is not spam since I'm sharing this experience with others that may be sick and tired of paying a lot of money for coffee. SM's is a great place to do business and there are others I have used but SM's is so far the best I've dealt with for green beans and equipment. Also, roasting is loud and smelly. Make sure you have a place to do this outdoors.
