In my opinion Les is right on target here.  One can home roast with a 
small investment and make a substantial improvement in the quality of 
your coffee at a net savings, Tom's greens cost less than "good" coffees 
at stores.  Adding a good burr grinder should be the first costly 
investment, the $130  or so Solis Maestro is not the best grinder out 
there but I think it is the least expensive electric one that does an 
adequate job.  I would add a good vacuum pot and pump espresso machine 
to round out the experience.  Once you have worked with this set of 
tools, there are several ways to enhance your coffee experience.

I've been keeping my eye out for a GrindMaster.  Why I don't know, I don't
have counterspace for that monster!  I guess I just like to "tool up" for a
new hobby.  :)   Dan
