the cost isn't too bad if you roast it yourself, green coffee can be had for around $5 per pound, but you'd have to invest in a roaster, a good air roaster is about $200, and then learning to roast, which is pretty easy to be honest
Yeah, I've always wondered what commodity green coffee could taste like if it wasn't roasted to death like the mass produced stuff.
I really should invest in a roasting setup because I would have a lot of fun learning to roast.
A Behmor roaster can be had for a couple hundred. Keep your place well ventilated and avoid the naturally processed coffees if you can, as personal roasters tend not to dispose of chaff particularly well. I'm spoiled in having several specialty roasters in my town, so I find it pretty easy to get my hands on a solid medium or light roast. Feel free to come to me for coffee questions. I'm no James Hoffman, but I know a lot more than most people.
I roast my coffee in a wok with a wooden spoon, then shake it outside in a strainer. If you just wanna taste it, it doesn't have to be expensive. It will be better with an actual roaster, but the jump in quality is worth it even with just a basic pan. You need a hood or some good ventilation though fyi, it smokes.
I should have tried it with a wok instead of a cast iron pan, it was difficult to keep it moving. I've heard using a metal colander with a heat gun works well too.
