From where do you purchase green beans, and are there other options than a popcorn maker (i.e. dry iron skillet)?

Amazon carries green coffee beans of various types. Good prices, too.

A popcorn popper is the most economical method, but if money is no object, you can buy coffee roasters for about $250.00.

I don’t think a skillet would work.

I get mine at a couple grocery stores in the Atlanta region.
Try sweetmarias.com for better options mail order.

Iron skillet is possible, but between the smoke (roast outside!) and harsh heat, better to use a popcorn popper. Got mine at Goodwill for $3, works great.

Second the suggestion of Sweet Maria’s.
