I know there are many types of geeks in the world (and on this board). So, I'm hoping the chances are good that someone here has done some home roasting in the past (i.e is a coffee geek).
Specifically, with a machine (not a pan on the stove) taylor made for coffee roasting.
I'd like to ask, what kind of smoke/smell problem did you have. I'd like to try it out. Sweet Marias (a bay are online coffee bean and roaster supplier) has the Fresh Roast Plus 8. I'm thinking of purchasing one.
However, I live in a studio so if this thing is going to create a lot of smoke or a smell that does not easily air out, I'll have to skip it until/unless I move.

Experiences? Opinions?
