> But if you're only roasting for yourself, a simple setup like mine should be fine.

i wonder how consistent it is to do it over a pan with hands...

I personally have a roasting attachment in my air-fryer, which is a rotating drum. And the air fryer has temperature setting, which can be used to correctly tune to roast your beans!

But i just buy mine from a good local roaster...their skill is worth paying for since i find my own roasting to be uneven and inconsistent.

I understand. I don’t get exactly the same degree of roasting each time. The roasted beans themselves are not as consistently roasted as ideal, either; after I grind them, I notice some lighter and darker grounds mixed in. But that doesn’t seem to affect the taste, as least as far as I can tell.

Anyway, it’s for my consumption only. I’m enjoying the manual roasting process, and I think I am gradually getting better at it.
