Can't roast around here, since all my local coffee shops (sans the big chains like Starbucks) exclusively use robusta. At least, the ones I'm aware of do. I also can't afford any high quality beans, so I'm stuck ordering from chains like Caribou (although honestly, it beats the h*** out of Folgers). Favorite blends from them that I can afford are the Starlight, Sombra del Poro, El Paraiso and Cosecha del Oro; I also love their Sumatran Peaberry, but I can never afford it.
Can definitely say I'm happy to see others in this thread using Moka pots and the Aeropress. Makes me feel better about my purchases. I generally use the Aeropress for my usual coffee, but the Moka pot for smaller, stronger cups. Either way, I like it strong, although not quite Espresso strength. And we grind our own beans using a hand-held burr grinder, only grinding enough for each use.
@zombimuncha: pretty sure it's possible to roast beans in an oven, at least in smaller batches. I've never heard of smoke being involved, and most roasteries use a specialized machine that works indoors and rotates the beans.
