Online suppliers of green coffee beans

Back in California I used to roast my own coffee, but I had the wonderful advantage of a terrific supplier for green coffee beans just down the road (relatively speaking). But here in Germany I have found only a few places online which ship green coffee (Rohkaffee) and their selection is meager. I can still order from the shop in California, but that adds shipping costs (in the neighborhood of $40) and just seems wasteful.

Does anyone know a good supplier where I can order online anywhere in Europe?

For folks that I have though about it... I really encourage it. It is fun and cuts the cost of your coffee habit by about 40%.

Until the neighbours break down the door with axes and pitchforks and roast you. Roasting coffee is actually quite a sickening smell.

No suggestions for suppliers for you but I wanted to try this out and would love some advice. I've looked into it, which means I googled a bit. What method do you use? I'd like to try the straight forward oven roasting - well, I thought about going out cowboy style and roasting them with the cast iron skillet I strapped to my horse but then I remembered I don't like to camp and don't have a horse with me but I digress. Anyboo, have you tried the oven method? It seems to be the least reliable method but I don't want to invest in machinery yet.

I tend to favor the hotair method (insert joke here). I usually use a hot air popcorn popper. With only a little bit of practice you can get the beans to the roast that you want with little trouble. The yields from a popper are on the small side though, usually no more than 3-4 cups per roasting session and you must let the popper cool down between uses for approximately 20 minutes.

Like a previous poster said, roasting coffee in general can get quite aromatic though if you find the smell good or bad just depends on who you are. I will say that some friends of mine in California who come from Ethiopia roasted beans in a skillet with relatively little smell and the coffee was just fantastic. Any method you use will produce significant quantities of smoke, so at a minmum make sure you have an open window nearby.
