I have to admit that I considered the idea of selling my roasts on Foodzie. I'm not sure that I could make it profitable on the scale that I am currently capable of, but its nice to dream. I use the Gene Cafe roaster now. Its an off axis air design and I love the consistency and balance of the roasted beans it produces. I used to use a popcorn popper but the batch size was prohibitively small.</p> Hey Nik, Thanks for commenting. I have to admit that I considered the idea of selling my roasts on Foodzie.

Home roasting isn’t something I’ve had the chance to do… yet!
