Stovetop Roasting with the Whirley-Pop (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

  „Without a temperature reading you are roasting blind and will have no idea if you're burning or baking the beans. Sweet Marias sells a Whirley-Pop 6 Quart stovetop popcorn popper with a 550° F Pelouze thermometer already attached. They also sell the thermometer by itself so you can modify any exisiting Whirley-Pop.“

Roasting Coffee in Stovetop Popcorn Poppers

  „The Whirley-Pop 6 Quart stovetop popper just happens to be a competent coffee roaster (in the right hands!) and has been our standby stovetop popcorn popper - roaster for years. This is the same stovetop popper you will read about in Home Coffee Roasting by Ken David's (it is also labeled the Theater II by the same manufacturer). While this method is completely manual (you need to set the right stovetop heat, crank the popper consistently for 7-10 minutes, and dump it out into a colander to cool), you will appreciate roasting 6-9 oz.“

CoffeeGeek - Gaggia Classic Machine - Gray Mason's Review

  „When I was shopping for my machine, I thought I'd be using ESE pods much of the time.  Since then, I've started roasting my own coffee beans in a hot air popper.  The freshly roasted beans make much better espresso, and I've left the Illy can of pods unopened.“

CoffeeGeek - Alpenrost Roaster - Dave Nolan's Review

  „I bought from Sweet Marias and it came with 8 lbs. of beans for the price I paid, which I viewed as an excellent deal  Though I've bought many things from them, I've never really had any problems, so I haven't really had to deal with customer service in any meaningful way.  I'm quite happy with them over-all.“

CoffeeGeek - Isomac Tea - Jeff Rader's Review

  „ I also roast my own beans (Espresso Monkey Blend from Sweet Marias).  I'll make a double latte every morning and again in the afternoon on weekends.  The difference between these machines is significant.  I owned a Silvia/Rocky combo for 3 years.“

Further Reading and Resources

  „Because people use their microwaves to make popcorn nowadays, there are tons of poppers of the correct design available from $2 to $5. The names to look for are the Poppery II, West Bend Corn Popper, Hamilton Beach Popaire 2, The Popcorn Pumper, and JC Penny brand. You can't be guaranteed they will work, but it's just a few bucks! The best one ever is the original West Bend Poppery, ugly as heck, but it will work forever...More Links for people in the Coffee Trade:“
