I'm roasting my own coffee beans now. I can buy the green, unroasted beans for as little as $3 or $4 per pound.
My coffee never tasted as good!
My Espresso machine was under $400. My grinder was only $200 but it is a 64mm flat burr grinder with variable speed.
My roaster was about $700

Peet’s Major Dickason’s Blend. Yum.
We've been drinking that sometimes recently. It's been available at Costco. I like it, but the beans are very oily. I've had to clean the grinder and it's discharge hopper frequently.

We drink Major Dickason's, too
@AdagioM - Our Costco has a coffee grinder up at the front of the store, somewhere in the vicinity of the food court, I think. They had one years ago, then it was gone, and now it seems to be back again.

Mark, my hat’s off to you for roasting your own beans. My brother does this as well. I’m afraid I don’t have the energy for that myself. I used to homebrew beer until I lost the bandwidth for that effort (and craft beer became widely available).

@AndyD Oh! I have a tea set (tea pot, cups and saucers) from Denby in the Baroque pattern.
I can't find the coffee pot on their website. It comes up on Amazon from Denby USA but out of stock. I wonder if it's discontinued?
My tea set pattern must be out of production because Baroque doesn't come up either when I search their site. It looks like this:

There seems to be a British version of Replacements LTD.
