yeah, home roasting would be hard in an apartment that doesn't have access to a balcony. lots o'smoke. i go through about 2 lbs./month so at $5/lb. versus the $12.50/lb. i had been spending at peet's, i save about $15/month. i paid for my roaster in 10 months...
I probably go through 2oz of coffee in a week (at most), so it wouldn't be very good for me... yet. If I ever get into espresso like you guys, I'd consider getting the roaster to save money. *sigh* If only I could justify an espresso setup... (I'm not really fond of the current "budget" offerings though, I need something with the build quality of a Silvia and the steaming power of a Solis SL-70. Grinder would be a macap or mazzer.)
EDIT: I ordered a Maestro Plus refurb from Baratza about two hours ago, hope I don't get buyer's remorse.

Thanks! I'm going to order the Bodum Columbia press once the grinder ships out. (I'm weird, don't ask)

2oz in a week ? Is that a typo? I spill more than that in one consumption .
2oz of ground coffee.

Since this is a thread about "coffee gadgets" I don't think I'm going off topic when I ask, "What kind of coffee do you guys drink" (I mean brand).
I only stick with Micro Roasters, when I lived in South Florida there was The Roasted Bean that was local, and San Giorgio (looks like San Giorgio is now San Marco and running in Nc now)
If I ordered online I usually used St Ives coffee in Gainesville Georgia. One of the best microroasters is supposed to be Intelligentsia, but I never got around to ordering from them.
If your ever in Key West Fl, try Baby's Coffee I stopped in there a few times when I was down there a few years ago. Hair of the Dog will definitely get your day going
