hello there @aliciasteyn... really nice to read your post and I like coffe too and never tried any roasting machine, I was roasting my coffee bean with traditional way I know.. LOL, couldn't afford a roasting machine yet.. and I run a small coffe shop in my garage too.
you're such an active girl and look at your DIY and paintings.. I like it!
hey, where are you from? does your culture roast your own beans kind of like in Ethiopia? Ive done some open skillet/pan roasting haha, its cool. thanx for reading. will follow your journey for sure
I came from Aceh, Indonesia @aliciasteyn.. I think it almost like Ethiopian style, but sometimes I just bought the coffee bean and then roast in on my gas stove in a non-stick pan, I added rice and sometimes some spices too. I'm not a professional.. but I like to experimenting on the coffee bean out of curiousity
