Hey folks, I'm totally new here. Been looking around the net for some guidance. As I'm sure everyone else here does, I love my coffee. dark, black, strong, french roast. I've been buying 3lb bags of San Francisco brand french roast from Rogers Family co, coffee roasters. Usually buying 2-3 bags, whichever it takes to get free shipping. Avg cost around $18.50 bag. I really do like their french roast.
Now I'm thinking about roasting my own to both save money and always have the best, freshly roasted bean. My current coffee beans do lose some of that oily coating after a period of time before using up the 3lb bag.
I still have to sort out which roaster to buy. But I want to know where to start on what green bean makes a good french roast. I have no idea what bean to buy.
Feel free to throw in your thoughts on home roasters as well. My goal is to also save money long term by buying green and roasting my own. But I want quality coffee and roaster.
Kind regards and thanks for responding.
