It’s not a lot of smoke-smoke, but the smell lingers for a day or two and it’s not a nice “mmm fresh coffee” smell. The chaf is the big PITA. Look at the videos for whirly-pop roasting. Do it on the stove with the fan turned on to get the smoke out. I do mine and then when it’s done roasting take it outside and let the char fly away.
