My other hobby

I hope it's obvious that one of my hobbies is photography, or at least the attempt of photography.
My other hobby, so to speak, is coffee roasting. My brother got me hooked by giving my some green coffee beans and a used air popper. I loved it so much that I eventually purchased an actual coffee roaster that has a half pound capacity. Fresh brewed coffee from fresh roasted beans is the best way to start off a day.
Always had to roast outdoors with the popper. There was too much smoke and chaff. Nearly impossible to roast during the winter. With the gene cafe model I can collect the chaff and route the smoke through an open window. Here I'm weighing the beans to pack into vented bags.
