Stovetop Coffee Roaster or Popcorn Maker

You can get your hands on either of these for as little as $30 or less, and it makes for a much more even roast than the oven or skillet method. Just throw in the beans, put it on the stove and turn the handle as the beans roast. This is much like the wok or skillet method, except that the crank makes for an easier and more thorough stirring of the beans. If you use a thermometer to keep an eye on the heat (just drill a small hole in the top where you can place the thermometer) then you should be able to get a good result. These pots often have flip-up lids so you can peek in and judge the color of your beans. Plus, if you don’t like it as a coffee roaster, it still makes darn good popcorn.

Equipment: A stovetop popcorn maker, a thermometer and a stovetop.

Pros: It’s cute and fun, not too expensive, and still a bit of ye olde style roasting that produces an even roast without too much fuss.

Cons: Putting anything on a flame makes it hard to control the temperature, even with a thermometer, so it’s still not the most exact method.

Flavor: Once you’ve done this a few times you should be able to get a nice, even roast on your beans. It’s still not easy to get a lighter roast, but you can develop some of the more subtle flavors.
