My first batch of home-roasted beans

A popcorn machine, a bag of green coffee and a very smoky kitchen. Here is what went right and what did not.

The first batch went too dark in under six minutes. Smaller batches and stirring with a wooden spoon gave me much more even colour on the second try.

Rest matters more than I expected. The same beans tasted grassy on day one and sweet on day four, so now I wait before judging a roast.
