    Freshly roasted coffee beans. A bag sets me back maybe $13 or so and gets me approximately 10 cups. Not what I would call outrageously expensive but I enjoy it a whole lot

      May I share with you that I roast a lot of things and it’s mind-blowingly easy, it saves a lot of money, and it’s a lot better than buying roasted from the store!

      I used to use my oven, but it’s literally as simple as raw almonds 325 in the air cooker for 15 minutes sometimes. Depends on the ingredients, I’ve never done coffee but I think I’m going to do that this afternoon!!!

      edit: I couldn’t find coffee beans that weren’t roasted (i never thought this through) so I bought the lightest ones and tried roasting them at different temperatures. It just kinda wrecked them.

        Unfortunately, I believe coffee might be a different beast. I’m not sure you will be able to achieve desirable results with that type of equipment.

        In fact, James Hoffmann recently made a video on whether it’s possible to roast coffee beans in an airfryer recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyLXmbTnJIY (tl;dw: not if you want good coffee)
