I did for a few years, went from stove top in a pan to buying a production probat roaster and building a small business that I sold. I thought is was an incredibly rewarding experience and one you are in a perpetual state trying to tweak/improve/etc. Ensure you start with good beans (https://www.sweetmarias.com/) and a common mistake is to over roast which burns the coffee and pulls out the bitter oils. Coffee beans should be tan not black. Good luck and have fun!
An unintended consequence of the journey you are headed on, is you develop a palette for coffee so now that I don’t roast anymore, I spend far too much money on good coffee every week ;-)
And popcorn poppers are a great way to get started!
As in roasting coffee in your backyard? Please do some research on what the process is of roasting coffee from start to finish and what the required conditions are. I have a friend who has his own coffee shop and his own brand, and these guys have coffee farms all over the world. You either make this your profession or you enjoy your daily cup by purchasing it from them.
I wanted to clarify, I was talking about roasting beans in my kitchen, since there are a number of appliances made for that purpose.
I am not planning to grow my own, I was looking into buying green coffee and roasting my own. It seems to be pretty easy to get high-quality green coffee for good prices, and apparently it keeps a lot better than roasted coffee (so you waste less).
There are a lot of in-kitchen appliances to roast coffee, at a range of price points. Some with great reviews.

As in you’re growing your own beans then roasting them yourself? If so my friend did that and it was tough. Took them awhile to grow the beans (did not live in the right climate), peeling the beans was a pain, but roasting it was fun. Seemed fun as a project but not sure if sustainable in the long term due to the amount of time put in.
Not growing my own, just roasting my own...
