Long story short, I started my amateur career as a home roaster, and all with a $20 investment, not including the coffee costs. I heard about a book, called by some guy named Ken Davids, but I roasted my first batches before buying the book (highly recommended by the way). I read everything I could find online about roasting at home - and there wasn’t a helluva lot of information out there at that time. But their prices were prohibitive, so I wrote Barry Jarrett of alt.coffee fame (who runs in Illinois) and he sold me my first ever batch of green (months later, I was one of Tom Owen’s first dozen (or hundred) customers at, long before he had his own domain name).

I knew of exactly one local roaster at the time - a tiny place on West Broadway in Vancouver - where I might obtain green coffee. Probably the hardest part was finding green beans. I remember reading about roasting at home as far back as 12 years ago in the newsgroup, and by 1997, I decided to take the leap.

I have the newsgroup alt.coffee to thank for this discovery. Home roasting gave me for the first time a genuine insight into what goes into coffee. I’m not talking a small jump here - I’m talking a quantum leap in discovering just how good coffee could be, and it wasn’t just in the taste improvements.
