Ready to give home roasting a chance? This technique uses a hot air corn popper to roast about 1/2 cup of green coffee beans in about 5 minutes. Hot air corn poppers cost about $25.
It is important to use a machine with good side and bottom airflow. A machine that blows air only from the bottom won't properly agitate the beans, which could catch fire.
Work in a well-ventilated area. If possible, do it outside or near a stove with a running hood vent.
