Hi all!
Today I went in search of a Popper to roast my fantastic coffee snobs july goodie bag. So off to Highpoint I went to find one.
I started at Target, I was hoping to find a mistral one, as I have read that they are not bad. No luck....There were no poppers to be found, on any shelves. :-?
Ok off to Big W...all they had was one of these miniature popcorn poppers that you find at the Cinemas. On closer inspection I decided not to even bother.
Off to Harvey Normans. Well....all they had was a Breville. "Its the new one" I was informed. I took a closer look at the price $36??
:-/ I was really in two minds whether or not to spend that amount on it. I was hoping for a price around the $20 mark, so if something went wrong I didnt waste my money on it, and not feel robbed. Anyway I bought it, something inside me sort of cried out "But what about the fantastic looking green beans at home waiting to be roasted???".
Just a small question. I have read somewhere here that it is better to have the vents on the side walls of the popper not underneath...This model has them underneath.
Does this matter at all? When I roasted with 2mcm at the academy he had a plate of some kind lifting the popper up off its front legs. Does this help?
Some advice on this would be great thanks.
Cheers,
Linda

. All the best,
. I was so excited I was busy watching them spin round and round and not the timing of them.
When the beans started up I started my timer and I just got so excited to watch these little things go from green to a brownish colour that I didnt time it and before I knew it they were black.
. All the best,
