Serious question, did a $12 porch roast win me over from years of buying bags?
I've been buying whole bean bags for years and always rolled my eyes at the popcorn popper and cast iron crowd. Last Saturday my neighbor Dave, who roasts on his back patio in San Antonio, handed me a small jar he'd done in a whirley pop and said 'just try it black before you add anything.' I brewed it the next morning and the smell filled my whole kitchen, way more than the sealed bags I usually grab. The taste was not perfect, a little uneven, but it had this sweet smell I couldn't get from my normal order. It hit different because I saw the guy make it, and knowing the beans were 4 days old made me realize how old my store bags probably are. Now I'm looking at a $20 stovetop setup and wondering if I've been overpaying this whole time. Anyone here start this way, and how bad did your first few batches taste before you got it dialed?
