A novice coffee roaster is $200 and that’s if you don’t go the popper route. Green beans are half the cost of roasted so you recoup the cost within about a year. The beans will never be fresher and you have complete control over the blend, roast, etc. How do coffee companies justify the markup on such a measly value-add on unroasted beans? And why do people keep buying pre-roasted? Is it just a self-perpetuating meme at this point?

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Yeah I dunno why people can't drop $200 on a "novice" coffee roaster.

On one hand, the taste difference between nescafe instant and a light roast pourover is huge; they are basically different drinks.

On the other hand, you are not wrong.

Why the gently caress would you buy sliced bread when you can just buy regular loaves and use a knife?

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.
