Sandy, Im in Cleveland, there are a couple of places here, the most accessible is whole foods, who sell so much coffee that they always have a great selection of stuff roasted that day. My GF lives in columbus and there is a great coffee roaster there called stauff's coffee roasters that i love going to. It is probably a lot like your place. They have some $50-$100/lb coffees that i just cant bring myself to purchase. Maybe some day when i refine my palate a little more.
Thanks for the info, i didn't even think of my popcorn popper. The place i get all my homebrewing (beer) stuff from, williams brewing, sells about a dozen different green beans.
My sister just moved to wilmington NC this past weekend. I am visiting her in october, i will have to stop on my way through.
