I do agree that to get the very best tasting coffee you should either roast your own ( not in an oven as suggested, as most cannot exceed 500F ) or go to a local coffee roaster.

I have been toying with the idea of buying a small roaster but the process can be messy as it puts out a lot of chaff from the roasting process and the small Amazon machines are really just toys compared to professional roasting machines. Most manufactures recommend roasting outside as the oily smell will stick to furniture and clothing. But that is difficult here in Maine with temperatures below freezing for months at a stretch.

Guess i will have to stick to having my Kona shipped direct from Hawaii for now
