when you say 'air roasted', you mean such as frying pan?

[sweetmarias]

@yt6 no - we mean air popcorn poppers like the west bend poppery, or home roasters like the freshroast or the hearthware i-roast

I thank you especially for taking the time to partially roast each phase. Thanks again for posting. CNN just announced a rise in coffee prices...time to start growing...

The King of Thailand presented the hilltribes with agricultural alternatives to opium growing, including coffee plants. One indigenous tribe known as the Akha was the beneficiary of this scheme. A Canadian chose to back the Akha people 100% in this venture.Thanks to to his generosity in giving the growers a 50% share in the Canadian company, 'Fair Trade' has since evolved into 'Beyond Fair Trade'--a noteworthy business model to emulate in terms of sustainability and sound ethics-P.

@tdjtx Manually I just toss them back and forth for a minute in a metal pan. Later I will add blowing air.

@onjoFilms How do you cool the beans down? I made what's called a coffee cooler out of a 1 gal plastic bucket, a metal dog bowl and a small 12V car vacuum.

@tdjtx Basically it's a very small computer.  I'm tired of having to watch and dump and refill the popper. I'm going to automate it.

[tdjtx]

@onjoFilms The Poppery works great for me, I only roast small batches. What's a microcontroller?

[onjoFilms]

@tdjtx I use the WestBend Poppery too.  I'm getting ready to try and automate the process with a microcontroller. We'll see how it goes.
