In recent years, home coffee bean roasters have become much more common in peoples’ homes, for the simple fact that more and more coffee drinkers are now learning to take control of the coffee making process, and save money doing it.
Roasting coffee beans is not for everyone, because it is an extra step, but for the true coffee fan, it makes a lot of sense. Just like vinyl is for people who love the ritual of music, coffee bean roasters are a way to better experience coffee.
A home coffee bean roaster provides a way to make this early stage in the coffee making process easy and fun, where it was once reserved for coffee roasteries, who roasted coffee in bulk.
