No, you don't need to spend a fortune to start roasting your own coffee. This kit will get you set up with everything you need to start off in style. Although the Whirley-Pop was designed for popcorn, it also does a great job roasting coffee. We have modified the popper so that it holds a thermometer capable of reading up to 550°F degrees, which makes for more consistent roasting results.
This kit also includes a stylish Bodum® 8-cup French Press - a truly gourmet method of brewing specialty coffee. Also included is "Home Coffee Roasting: Romance and Revival" - an excellently written, incredibly informative, and authoritative book written by Kenneth Davids (a big name in the coffee industry). You will be roasting like a pro in no time!
