I realise this is a bit of a 'how long is a piece of string' question, but I'm wondering for people new to home roasting, how many batches did it take before you were getting results you were happy to drink?
I ask because the whole concept intrigues me and I'm keen to try, but I love the beans I'm using at the moment (took me about 2 years to settle on these), and I'm worried that I'll go through batch after batch after batch and not get to where I'd like within a reasonable time. Ie if it took me a few months to get things sorted I'd be happy, but if it takes over a year of trial and error then I think I'd be a little frustrated.
Any advice? I'm thinking I'd jump in with a Behmor if I were to do it. TIA.
