I wrote a short article for Credit.com about roasting coffee with an air corn popper.
It's not as hard as you might think. You don't need a large, noisy, smoke-belching contraption in your kitchen or garage. All you need to roast small batches of coffee are some green coffee beans (I get mine from a company in Oakland California called Sweet Maria's, but many other online outlets sell green beans, too) and an ordinary air popcorn popper (I use the West Bend 82416 Air Crazy popper, about $(removed)).
