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.

Not a fan of the new content?

[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.

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?

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.

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!
