With the spike in coffee prices I have gotten very interested in roasting my own.

That is exactly what an SC/CO roaster is (acronym for "Stir Crazy / Convection Oven)

Sadly, the price spike is affecting green beans, too... However, to a lesser extent. Besides, once you go FRESH ROAST, it is damn hard to go back.

Bump, cuz I was just watching vids of different ways to home roast. A heat gun and drill (both of which I already have) attached to some type of drum was my initial choice, but this may win me over too. at approx. 1/2 cup of beans per roast with a popcorn popper, it's really not enough.

How long do you let your beans rest between roasting and grinding/brewing?

I saw a couple tutorials say you should wait a couple days for the bloom to settle down a bit...
