I don't have anything like an actual coffee roaster or hot air popcorn popper, so looking for advice on how to do it in a pan or perhaps oven.

No, you’re in the wrong realm of temps. Start at 300+ and get it to maybe 442 by end of roast. Pan must be hotter to convey heat by conduction, maybe a minimum of 50 degrees over what bean temp is.

Fair enough. I’m not a coffee drinker so I didn’t know what range of temps might be needed.

Well, as a rule of thumb, roasting to 442 is usually good (if you have a submersed bean probe) and brewing is good usually at 200 degrees for 3 minutes. Grinding is critical, a proper burr grinder is the only way to get a decent size particle to get proper taste. This alone can be a massive difference in the taste and quality of coffee. Hario makes a fine one for like 35$.

I may get one. I like to make my wife’s coffee for her sometimes.

I’ve gotten the water/bean ratio pretty good and the grind is decent but maybe could be better.
