It's just the cheapest one I could find on amazon. Apairently it's not the right one for the job, but seems to work fine. Drawbacks are that it makes a mess and blows a few beans out durring the process. Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Popper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IUWA?tag=vglnk-c102-20 Quote HistoryQuoted:

This morning my son and I did a small cupping session. It was a really fun experience! I've been a "coffee nerd" for some time now, but never took the plunge into the world of roasting. So, a couple of weeks ago, I ordered some green coffee and a popcorn popper. I've roasters a few small batches now and have to say that it's miles beyond anything I've bought off the shelf, even when I screw it up! This morning my 3 1/2 year old was begging to make coffee with the popcorn popper, so I decided to oblige him. We grabbed a newly acquired bag of Ethiopian and headed out side. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/24268/IMG-0417-262552.jpg We roasted a light roast and a darker roast. The light one was pulled about 30 seconds after the start of first the first crack and the dark just at the start of the second crack. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/24268/IMG-0412-262562.jpg Now, there seems to be great argument over how long one needs to wait for the freshly roasted coffee to rest before grinding and brewing, but we did t wait. We did save some for tomorrow to see if it makes a difference one way or the other. The light roast was super light, in fact under roasted I think. Good nonetheless. The darker one was the single best taste of coffee I've ever had! Amazing! So, I brewed up a cup and shared it with my son on the porch. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/24268/IMG-0408-262563.jpg He loved it! He asks for a cup of coffee a few times a week, so I think he really doesn't like it. I have no idea why. As he is still doing full speed laps of the backyard, 4 hours later......  I could not imagine my little dudes on coffee..... sugar is bad enough!
I had a home roaster send me some fresh roast before.... it was the most amazing liquid I have ever consumed.... the oils and flavors were amazing! I have often thought about getting into roasting, but did not want the investment of a roaster.... do you have a link to the popcorn popper you use? any drawbacks to it? Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Popper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IUWA?tag=vglnk-c102-20 Another thing to look out for is getting them to stop cooking by spreading them out quickly so they stop cooking. They stay hot for a surprisingly long time for a little bean. The popper will take on a coffee color, but no problems noted by others in my family who still use it for popping corn from time to time. |

Were you the person who started a thread on this recently? If so, I'm glad to hear it's working out well for you! You are having better luck than I am, although I'm using an even more primitive roasting apparatus (cast iron skillet and whisk). I did my third batch a few days ago (probably when I read your thread) and like the first two, it was drinkable but not even as good as cheap beans from the grocery store. Maybe I'm not going dark enough but I'm afraid to go too far down this rabbit hole because I know me and specialized coffee roasting machines are expensive! Quote HistoryQuoted:

this thread is messed up. kid is too young for caffeine It seems to have no effect negative on him at all but to actually calm him. A kids hot cocoa on the other hand and he'll be bouncing off walls in a matter of minuets. It's actually sad to see the effect that sugar has on him even is a small dose. It's child abuse in the worst form. These days, most parents won't blink an eye about giving them 2-3 times the (already insanely high) RDA of sugar, but give them a few mg caffeine and OMGWTFBBQ call cps! But, give em sugar and watch them squirm and laugh about it cause it cute.... ETA: plus, at the end he said, "thanks for having coffee with me dad, that was fun." |

Roasting the beans in one thing, but different brewing methods give different tastes and strength of coffee too. French press is more bitter tasting, moka pot is smooth and flavorful.

I've been roasting my own for a while now OP and I agree that it is WAY better than store bought. Cheaper too! I also do it the same way you do, with a popcorn popper...including the same model. I've found that I like to let mine rest (and breathe) for a couple days for it to be best but like you say, you can drink it right away too and it is still great.
I haven't purchased beans from Lavanta but get most of mine through Sweet Maria's It appears that they are quite a bit less expensive but be assured that they are also picky about what they buy. They travel all over the world and do extensive cupping tests of their own. Anyway, enjoy the new hobby and good for you and your son for sharing that experience. It IS fun! |
