Roasting your own coffee beans

After requesting a free sample of green coffee beans from coffeeproject.com (great site!), the shipment arrived about ten days later.  The envelope contained a small ziplock bag of green coffee beans and instructions on how to roast them on the stove top without any special equipment.

The amount of coffee beans sent was perfect for the first time roasting and will be just enough for one brewed cup.    The instructions were easy to follow and suggested the roated beans sit for one to three days before use. 

Once they are made into a lovely cup of coffee, I'll let you know how it went!

Roasting my own coffee beans seems like it will be an enjoyable hobby and will hopefully produce a better tasting coffee than the junk that Americans are sold in stores.  I certainly plan to use The Coffee Project as my source for starting up, as their website is user friendly and they are willing to send a free sample of their product to let you try it first.
