Are you sure she wasn't just grinding the beans ? I confess I've never seen a home coffee bean roaster, indeed I don't recall ever seeing unroasted beans for sale. (just looked at a bean supplier in Sydney and they do in fact sell green coffee beans, so there you go.)

The aroma from freshly ground beans is heavenly.

Me, I am not such an afficionado (sp? )to be bothered with grinding my own beans. I buy coffee in smallish vacuum sealed packs and while by the end of the packet you can taste the difference I can live with it.
