I'm very new, but I have a HotTop Basic and I've loved working with it. I
realize after years of Starbucks, I didn't know what BOLD coffee tasted like
until I got roasting.
I like to go dark and have currently tried to create some Espresso blends
with limited success...

I have 2 Fresh Roast Plus 8 and a BBQ roaster. I have a lot of green beans.
Today I am drinking Colombian Huila Supremo that tastes great. My favorite
that I have right now is a Bolivian coffee from Angel Pamuri called Café
Apolo peabury that was a COE but what I bought couldn't be called that even
though it is.

I do roast with a Behmor. Before that, I used a wok on the stove. I like lots of stuff, but really seek out coffees that have a "Dutch cocoa" flavor.
I take it you are selling your excess green beans when you buy in quantity? www.jimscoffeebeans.com
Did you make your BBQ roaster drum or did you purchase it? What kinds of motor are you using? Speed? How are you checking the temp or roast level? I started to make one and actually had it all together and on my first roast my heat diffuser cracked and burnt half the beans and the other half were still green so I went back to the drawing board and then threw away the board.

I keep giving my coffee away to the teachers at my kids school. They need something nice to put up with my kids... ;-) The teachers are now begging me to open a coffee cafe so I can just make the coffee for them,,,I think I have spoiled the teachers as well as my kids...

Actually I am trying to finance my coffee habit. I bought the drum roaster,
I have the original motor that came with the rotisserie. My BBQ has a
thermometer on it. I like my Fresh Roast 8 plus the best but it only roasts
a small amount.

See any great deals for roasters on eBay or Craigslist?

I do roast with a Behmor. Before that, I used a wok on the stove. I like
lots of stuff, but really seek out coffees that have a "Dutch cocoa" flavor.
I actually sent an email to Micheal Gehrken (I think thats how you spell
his name) who runs the Tanzanian Blackburn Estate thanking him for his blog
comment ( I noticed he also commented on scotto's blog) and inquiring about
the arrival of his next crop. He said he sent out 18 tons to the US, I am
hoping that it is as good as last years and that Sweet Marias picks some
up.

I understand on the paying off the home roast habit. I think I am spending
about $50 every two months on green beans. I have been buying them from
http://www.ccmcoffee.com and yes, the quality does not seem as top end as
Sweet Maria's but for the price difference (and little actual difference in
beans) I am willing to settle. Especially when anything I do is better then
store bought. I have definitely purchased worse though.
I am now thinking about purchasing 25 lbs from
http://ourcoffeebarn.com/wholesale as they buy from
http://www.cafeimports.com/ and then resell in smaller lots. If I like the
beans then I plan to make a larger (60 lb?) purchase directly from Cafe
Imports. I plan on using some for myself but selling most of the beans for
paying off my roaster.
This is so I can pay for my project roaster which is an older Swadlo
roaster (see a similar unit go to
http://blog.cafeverdeperu.com/2009/01/otto-swadlo-victoria-werk-roast... ). Mine needs some attention due to a fire in the exhaust and just all
around old age but I have to find a spot at home for it first ;-)
