At $2 US a pound it is not worth toasting - quite fine with sucking the air from around those dark roasted beans. Joaquin - couldn't agree more!

So easy, even with a little air popper. As you probably know, after roasted, the flavor drops off considerably after a week. With all the green around your area, it seems a shame not to take advantage of it. Mark W John, have you considered roasting your own beans? So easy, even with a little air popper.
