Speaking of appliances that take up space, meet my new Behmor coffee roaster. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I admit to being intimidated. This is a big step up from my popcorn popper/roaster.
I purchased it through Roastmasters. They have this unit for $299 (which seems to be standard). But the 2 big benefits of ordering through them are the free shipping (this thing weighs 25#) and the 8# of free coffee, 1# each of eight varieties. The coffee alone is worth $40 to $50. What a great deal!
No time to play with new toys right now. The summer has so many seasonal obligations to keep up with. Or try to. I am way behind on my gardening duties. The weeds are threatening to take over. And I need to get a move on as far as wine making goes. But I did manage to start on the raspberry processing. I made these 4 jars of jam yesterday. Now to work on the frozen berries. This jam was from the berries picked the same day it was made.

Well, I am enjoying roasting coffee beans, thanks to your influence! Just figured out it's best to do it outside, though. My smoke detector goes off almost continuously while beans are roasting. That coffee roaster DOES look intimidating.
I'm glad I was able to be a good(?) influence on you, Marti. And yes, you need to use the hot air popper/roasters outdoors. Which is why I finally broke down and bought a proper roaster. I don't have a covered area to roast outdoors and we've been having a very soggy summer.
Where did you end up buying your raw beans, Marti?
