Like some others in this thread I home roast (and coffee is prepared in a simple Chemex). I get green beans from Sweet Maria's, roast and use them within a few days (grinding right before brewing).
Roasting coffee produces a bit of smoke, and this will have to be vented if you roast coffee indoors.What is the best vent to remove smoke if you've roasted coffee in bulk quantity.
