For anyone looking to get into coffee roasting. I HIGHLY recommend this machine for value to performance. I also HIGHLY encourage you to pay the extra and get the extension tube for it for extra $60 (normally $79). Using the extension has halved my time to roast allowing me to roast about 2lbs per hour now. Previously, it was would take ~2 hours to roast the same 2lbs.
With the extension tube the machine can

A popcorn popper is a great low-investment introduction to home coffee roasting but this is definitely a step up.

I don't know anyplace that sell cheap, baseline green -- they are sell higher end to high-end beans for people who appreciate good coffee, freshly roaster.
Not that the point is economic, but you cannot buy comparable roasted bean, cheaper than you can buy the same ones green and then home roast.

The price at Sweet Maria's is about right as well, $7ish...for a pound. I haven't found a local roaster to see an actual pound of coffee, 12oz is typical. At $14 per bag, it's $19 per pound. At $20 per bag, it's $27 per point.
I bought a impact heat sealer and sealable bags of off Amazon to keep coffee fresher longer.

Not I buy quality Central American green for probably 40% of the price of same that has been roasted fresh. Even with a 15%-20% weight loss, I still come out cheaper, by buying green. Sure, I can walk into the Publix or Target and find a bag of Guatemala cheaper than a local independent roaster, but who knows how long that has been sitting around.
I don't understand the point about roasting and drinking every day - I roast a batch of ~300-350g of beans (a week's worth for the two of us) and set it aside to for a few days. But even when I had a smaller roaster, I would run a few batches back-to-back and I was good.

As for roasting multiple batches... it can be a pain IME. These roasters need to be watched so you can flip to cool-off at the right point (usually around 2nd crack). Maybe you'll get lucky and hit it just right, maybe you won't. They can also produce a lot of smoke and smell which isn't fun. And if you're roasting 4oz of green, that equates to 3oz of roasted, which is about 4 double shots of espresso... which isn't a lot. Much less if you're into drip/pour-over.
Ultimately I don't regret that I did what I did. It was fun for a while. But for anyone who is purely focused on the finished product, their time would be better spent in finding a source of good value roasted coffee that makes them happy .
Roasting under a legit hood/vent can mitigate this problem as well.

I am with you. I roast for a week and set it to our gas for a day or two
Mainly started because it was cheaper, and for freshness because I know the roast date. Can I buy coffee cheaper? Sometimes, but I like the freshness of the roasted coffee.

No, I haven't. My assumption is that continual stirring is important for best results.
