Counter Culture has stores, and even training centers, in Asheville, Charlotte and Durham, N.C.; Atlanta; New York City; and Washington, D.C. But there's just no way any farm-to-cup roaster can open up 60 stores, let alone 16,000-plus like Starbucks.

Home-roasting guru Jim Schulman, who conducts his own coffee-tasting sessions in Chicago, uses a '70s-era popcorn popper that he has modified extensively with a blueprint he got online from some fellow roasters who happened to be engineers...
