I tried it, just felt it was just a hassle for me. I get my fresh roasted beans for years from a few places in Ga and roaster in NC and one in TN. Those roasters in my town or state are just out of sight expensive, for what ya get.. When I order, I get my fresh roasted beans in 2 days from the day of the roast. But the hobby of roasting seems like fun, for some that have the time and energy to do it right.
