Tutorial: Roast Coffee Using an Air Popper

[ke5ufg]

Uneven roast is not necessarily a bad thing and I would never throughout coffee because of it. Some beans naturally roast uneven. Certain methods roast more uneven also such as barrel roasters.

I notice several thumbs down. What a bunch of weirdos' . This video is the best I've seen on the subject.

Where did you pick up the 550 needle thermometer? Locally I can only find candy thermometers that go up to 400.

Hey Jeff,

I bought a popper yesterday at WallGreens for $9.99 and went to my local coffee house (BeanWerks) here in Asheville, NC and bought some beans. Roasted them last night- Everything went just like you said. I'm waiting a few days before I try it cause another video said the coffee is better after 3 days. Thanks for all the great info and the video.

Great video -- well made. I do it all outside in Hawaii. I bought a new Chefmate popper at Target for $16 - almost identical. I don't use a lid and I roast 1/2 cup at a time AND get an even roast because I use a wooden spoon handle to vigorously stir the coffee beans as they roast. Start stirring after about 1.5 min. and stir about once every min for a few seconds. The friction helps release the chaff. Roast until desired color reached. Poor into a large sieve and stir to cool.

Unfortunately in Idaho I can't roast year round, but I still love to do it inside. I just purchased a Fresh Roast plus 8 from Sweet Marias so I don't have to deal with the chaff and I love it. Makes it all so much easier.

Update on the "Chefmate" popcorn popper. Target (here in Hawaii) no longer sells the Chefmate popper. I recently had to replace mine and order the "Toastmaster 6203" online...it is the exact same machine as the Chefmate. Got two of them on sale for $10 each!

Wtf

[BrickSh0t7]

Not a fan of the new content?

[BDogbz]

I am a fan. Jeff keep it up. Great once again

[trussmaker]

LOL there's always a heckler in the crowd.

[FERRALLAVISION]

It's not that I'm not a fan. I'm just in shock of this new content your putting out. I mean you made partner because of electronics. Just wondering why you made the switch. When I saw this video uploaded I was just in shock. It has nothing to do with not being a fan of it. Pretty cool to tell you the truth.

[BrickSh0t7]

I have always had more than electronics videos. One of the first videos I did was one on coffee. I made partner because of all my content. If you look at the last 15 videos I have made only two or three have been different from what you would consider the norm. I modified my content because I was tired of iPhone 3g stuff being the focus. I wanted to expand to include more of what I enjoy to bring a wider variety to my viewers. Besides, every gadget lover needs caffeine & what better than coffee?

[FERRALLAVISION]

Could not agree more Jeff. Expanding is great. I started with tech and now doing clothes glasses shoes and much more. By the way another TV 32" is being given away. I've team up with ToPNotch Audio Video! Vid coming soon!
