coffeegeek.com and the other forums are good, but this forum is specific to home roasting: http://www.homeroasters.org/php/forum/

Lot's of good info there. http://www.coffeegeek.com/forums/coffee/homeroast is the coffee geek home roast forum.

Have fun!

So my CaCrapso machine finally decided it really would rather take up counter space and annoy me than make any more coffee. I tried a godsmack of descaler, it's still FUBAR. I found a Gaggia 'Espresso' model espresso machine for $50 on craigslist. After descaling, cleaning and some minor repairs this things is twice the machine that the Capresso could ever have been. Now I am making REAL espresso, but also there is a greater learning curve. The capresso had a pressurized filter, none on the Gaggia. But I was able to make a nice espresso with real crema. Just need to adjust my dosing and tamping and get my technique down. FUN FUN!

But now I have to get my roasting down better also.
