I’m not at all the right person to ask, but I’ll respond and hopefullysomeone more knowledgeable will chime in. There are home roasters and small commercial roasters (people in the business need to do test batches).
Places like espresso outlet sell smedium roasters, mostly really fancy ones that are commercial. Sweet Maria’s sells stuff thats much more affordable.
You can roast stovetop or in the oven, but it’s my understanding that those dont work well because the heat is conducting not convecting. A popcorn popper is one of the classic cheap ways to roast beans the “right” way. I got mine for a few bucks from a thrift store.
