I’ve used a chemex + quality grinder for a long time and haven’t found anything better so not much to add there.

I’ve started experimenting with roasting at home, though, and am surprised at how easy it is. Time since roast seems to be one of the most important variables for taste and beans are by far the largest expense. You can buy a 3lb bag of unroasted green coffee on Amazon for $20:

It takes about 13 minutes to roast a hopper’s worth of beans. I use a normal castiron skillet over medium heat. Just keep the beans moving the whole time.
