You should roast your own coffee! Bringing back a conversation with Byron Dote of Sweet Maria's (from January 2020) to remind you why and how.

Also, you'll need some delicious green coffee to go with this new adventure...you've only got until July 1st (2022) to take advantage of 15% off an order of green coffee from Sweet Maria's. Do it soon!

Not ready to start a coffee business, but want to save some money in these tight economic times while at the same time "leveling up" your home coffee game? Enter: Home Coffee Roasting. I went deep into roasting coffee at home in Season 2 so feel free to go back and listen to those episodes on the "how" of home roasting. But for today, I want to focus on the "Why" question, specifically the "Financial Why" of home roasting. I went a little Excel-nerdy and put together a simple financial model showing the various Payback Periods/Breakeven Points where it would make financial sense to roast coffee at home. Click here , download, and fill in the YELLOW cells with your own assumptions to calculate an estimated payback period based on your coffee drinking habits. Hit me up and let me know if this helped you pull the trigger, and let me know if I can help!
