I’ve been thinking about getting into home roasting, anyone got any tips of first roasters and places to check out for green beans? I was thinking a SR800 with extension tube from sweet Maria’s and the green coffee there as well but love to hear other thoughts!

I'm currently reading this. https://perfectdailygrind.com/2018/05/why-are-some-coffees-more-acidic-than-others-a-brew-roast-guide/

It might help you in deciding which green coffee you want and how to experiment with it. I hope it gives you ideas like it does for me, I'm currently experimenting with pan roasting. If you want to invest anyway, I'm not recommending you do many pan roasts but you might wanna try at least one, especially since it's super cheap to accomplish.

Great article! Will definitely be checking that out. I’ve heard a lot of people turned off of home roasting by trying pan roasting the first time so I thought I’d jump in fully and save some money with green coffee.
