Compared to supermarket and most small scale roasters I’ve tried, orders of magnitude better. At least I can roast everything in my preferred light-to-medium range instead of finding that those “filter roast” beans are acrid charcoal. Nowadays I can even pull off a fruity acidic citrusy bean most of the time.

However I’m lucky to know a great, if slightly expensive and sometimes inconsistent, roaster a few towns over. So better… Maybe not. Cheaper, hell yes.
