Why isn't it possible for a company to build a good inexpensive 1 pound roaster?

Can we get back on topic?

I'm looking for a good inexpensive 1lb roaster, my budget is $12. It would be nice if the vendor also throws in 3-4lbs of green beans.

I have a Toastmaster Fluid Bed Roaster and 3-4lbs of green island coffee (from the exotic and majestic Republic of Dominica!) that is priced to move at $11.99 USD 

I'll take it, as long as it comes with a lifetime warranty with a no questions asked guarantee. Oh, and on-site repair. Aaaaaannnnnnddddddd an occasional free house cleaning. Thanks.

Thank you for your kind offers of patronage - currently I am set up to take Paypal in Dominican Republic funds - fitting actually since it pays homage to the Goddess Caffeinia.

Hahaha, that's awesome.

I don't remember drinking coffee when I was in the Dominican, though I seem to remember some rum being involved.

Dude, don't take everything here, and in most cases anything said here so seriously and at face value.  Very few of us do.   
We all know that peter is a good trouble maker but have learned over the years to just ignore most of his rantings and ravings as those of a man being denied sufficient coffee.

It's not that you have to 'fit in'  or go through any 'hazing' or 'prove' yourself to anyone.   To be honest, it's when people stop 'picking on you' that you need to be worried 
Nobody thinks you are an idiot, or a moron, or just 'stupid' because you are a 'noob' or even perceived to be a noob.

Think about it, if we really thought you were that stupid, we would not bother taking to you at all, I mean, why bother if you were stupid? ?  We would just smile politely, point towards the big state at the bottom of the mess of them, you know the one near the middle of the mess and tell you that is where home is at and shoo you on your way.

Feel better now?

Aaron... the forum (_*_)

I'm not sure it's an insufficiency of coffee as it is a surfeit of frou-frou.

Staylor, I believe we would get along famously.

wsikes I can't help but notice our cat is starting to look like you in the winter when the hair grows.

Tex... I'll leave all of the "Light Work" for you... you can take care of Peter.  Looks like you're right in it already... keep up the good work.
Aaron... Thanks... if this is anything like real life I'll probably be a magnet for all the town, er, forum drunks... or more probably, a magnet for those who can't afford enough of their own wine, beer, or whiskey to get drunk.
All is good... just roasted a pound of Rwanda Bourbon and can't decide whether to brew it or just wash it down with a good shot... of whiskey.  Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Hmm???  Wilder Bill???

Jeffo,
I'll take that as a compliment.  That's a good-lookin' cat!

Not as wild as I was in my younger days... More like a member of the "Over the Hill Gang."  My wife just calls me an "Old Goat."  What does she know?  She tended bar and I was the bouncer.  The bar where I met her burned to the ground shortly after it the owner got shot and killed but in the day we never thought one little ole shooting was that bad as long as it was the other guy gettin' shot.   I really enjoyed bouncing at the bar where "Alabama" played when I was younger.  Lots of girls and hardly ever a fight. Those were the "Good Old Days."
Maybe I am just an Old Goat.

We already have Old Goat....

And Wild Bill..

You might have to settle for the Bearded Bouncer....or maybe the Bouncing Bearder. I like Bouncing Bearder.
