Okay, here was my experiment tonight. Roasting some beans. I started off with 30 grams, so as to not waste them all if something went horrifically wrong. The process wasn't too bad, just unsure of specific temperatures, so just going until the beans were relatively close in colour to my reference bean and the chaff was gone. I can see why people do this outdoors. The chaff that was sloughing off was pretty bad. It's light and it just flies everywhere.

So after letting it cool down sufficiently, I ground it and tried it out. It smelled pretty good.
Unfortunately though, the resultant coffee was pretty weak. I screwed up my recipe, and used 15g coffee and 300g water. I also did the reverse method where you fill up with water and then dump the coffee in and give it a stir. This eliminates the need for any special kettles with goosnecks.
