    I'm a big espresso fan. I have a stove top 4 shot espresso maker and drink a pot every morning - Cuban "Cortadito" style. Sometimes I just get the Pilon in the bag, Sometimes I'll go down to the Coop Market and get a nice roast from the bulk isle. I got a ~$80 Krups Burr grinder from Starbucks for Christmas a couple of years ago.. It's messy but grinds the beans good. I'm no Coffee expert, but I can tell the difference between something that’s been pre ground in a bag and something I just put through the grinder.

    I've purchased several pounds of coffee from Jerry and when I'm in the mood for some really good beans I'll order some more. I've tried a couple of his blends over the years but the Electric Chair Espresso got me hooked. It can be a bit pricey with shipping and what not, but it’s sort of like buying that Padron 1964 instead of the Edge Missile I normally smoke.

    The rule i go by for good coffee is

    green coffee beans are good for 2 years
    roasted coffee is good for 2 weeks
    ground coffee is good for 2 days

    a good bur grinder will make a difference in taste but a good coffee pot makes a much better improvement in taste.

    The best coffee pot i found for home use is Technivorm Moccamaster its not cheap but it makes one hell of a cup of coffee.

    Mangy, I've heard that some people use popcorn poppers for roasters. Have you ever tried that and if so, did have good luck?

    You can use the old air poppers to roast coffee but i have never tried it my self.

    If your thinking about it start here http://www.sweetmarias.com/index.php
    i got 2 of my home rosters form them and my last coffee pot "Technivorm Moccamaster".

    I order my green coffee from http://www.thecaptainscoffee.com/

    Be warned if you start home roasting you'll never go back to drinking the coffee at work or star bucks, it will all taste like crap

    Are green beans considerably cheaper than buying roasted beans?

    Yes between $4 and $6 a pound is what i pay for good green coffee even after shipping its cheaper.

    If you look around you can find some good deals on shipping to keep the price under $6 for decent beens.

    I look at coffee like i do cigars its a hobie and i want the best tasting coffee/cigars i can get.

    one big plus for home roasting is discovering the different tastes you can get just by doing a lighter or darker roast using the same beens.
