What do you put the coffee in when you roast it on the stove? And how strong is the smell when it's roasting?
I want to roast at home but I'm afraid neighbors may complain if the odor is too much.

You get a little bit of smoke but nothing like what I read online. That said, I don't generally roast to expresso dark but have roasted to 30-60sec past 2nd crack with no problems (happymug gives tips on how much to roast in their green bean profile).
We live in an apt and no one has ever complained. Also, it's not foul smelling at all. Generally just a little burnt coffee smell. The beans and grind, however, smell superb!!
