title_body: What's the recommended way to roast coffee beans at home?
upvoted_answer: The best would be buying a home roaster, but that would be expensive.
  
  corn popper does an amazing job considering how cheap and easy it is.
  (hair drying is like corn popper in principle, but will need you to manually make sure the heat is used evenly, corn popper just do it automatically)
  
  Using a pan need some practice but could be lot of fun to try.
  
  So if you have the money and want to invest in it go for home roaster if not popcorn popper would be great.
  
  just remember, you cannot make a good coffee out of bad quality coffee beans while the opposite is true.
  
  Have a Good Roasting :)
