Home roasting is exploding—and it’s no longer just for pros. Ray and Zack dive into the rise of the home-roasting movement with guest Robert Asami, a hobbyist roaster from the Bay Area. They unpack ultra-light roasts, the new tech driving the scene (Roest, Nucleus Link, Kaffelogic), and the growing culture of experimentation, education, and gear obsession.
