You should check out sweetmarias.com and investigate roasting your own coffee. They have info about roasting techniques and a wide variety of beans. A little extra trouble, but well worth it. I started 2 years ago roasting in an old popcorn popper of all things, so it doesn't even have to be an expensive hobby. Also, I find green beans to be less expensive than roasted beans from the store, especially considering the quality. Green beans also store much longer than roasted before going stale.

There are low-end roasters similar to my popper or more expensive models with various features. The only deal with the popcorn popper is that only certain models will do the job safely. I would recommend researching before going that route. A low-end roaster would be the way to start. If my popper ever dies, I will be going that route.
