The siren's call is there.

I was once like you. I had a supplier/roaster I trusted. And he did good work.

But he always roasted the beans just a hair darker than I liked. (I tend to favour so-called "city roasts" and he kept taking them to "dark".) So I got him to teach me how to roast and to help me find a good home roaster. And I started to roast at home.

I never got into making my own espresso, thankfully, because the roasting stuff turned into a huge money pit.

I think my wife will keep me in check. She hated coffee before me and over the years I found her preferred taste. Decaf extra dark.

Local roaster hits it perfectly.
