You'd need some serious ventilation. I also recommend starting with a popcorn popper outside.

I think this part hasn't been written of enough. How much smoke does coffee roasting create? Is it almost like a barbecue?

Yeah, the smoke is considerable, and smells delicious. Definitely an outdoor activity (or be near an open window w/ a fan).

Yikes. I was quite close to purchasing and roasting some green beans in a not-very-well-ventilated cooking area. Thanks for the heads up!
