Why roast your own?

1. Fresh. You know when and how your coffee was roasted.

2. Variety. It's the "spice of life" and of coffee. You can buy different origins and then you can get different tastes by roasting differently.

3. Economy. You save money on the beans so you can spend it on the roaster.

4. Hobby. Gives you something to do besides television.

5. Snobbery. Makes you an instant coffee expert.
