  • First roasts with kambrook popper

    Started roasting- using a kambrook popper my daughter gave me for Christmas. With the pointy end of a wooden spoon stirring the beans in addition to the rotating motion, it gives a very even roast and has a chimney

            agreed, its much better than another one (a mistral) ive had - 5-6mins flat out the one im talking about is the B&D popper. the 9 mins was the longest ive ever gotten on any roast (it was PNG peaberry on a fairly mild evening - melbourne summer evening that is ).

            heard others had more success with it than ive experienced... like 15 mins

            nunu, thats a decent roast time. id be stoked with that!

              I was worried it wouldnt make it to 2nd crack.

              When the weathers warmer, Im usually around the 6-7 minute mark.

                ahh.. icic. thats more like the ball park im experiencing depending on the bean though. sometimes it can be "5 mins and its all over - rolling 2nd" !

                wondering what the shorter periods do for the tasting of the bean though. hmm...

                  Ive been roasting with the same Kambrook/wooden spoon setup for a year now and it has done MANY MANY MANY batches without missing a BEAT. So much so that I was in GoodGuys today and saw they had a stack of them in the aisle for $19.95....

                  I nearly bought a spare one just in case mine ever does die. But ironically the reason I was going to GG was to check out mini ovens with rotisseries as possibles for modding into coffee roaster.
                  I made this decision after roasting 11 x 160gram batches in the Kambrook yesterday and thinking there must be a better way to roast MORE per turn.

                  Now Im leaning towards a BM/HG setup if I can score a BM for free or cheap. Reading here that they can handle +600g batches easily. That would be sweet. ;D

                  But the Kambrooks are great poppers. I roast back-to-back for 1-2 hrs in mine regularly. And by b-2-b, I mean turn off, empty beans into cooler, pour in new batch, turn on again, all within 20 seconds. Rinse and Repeat.
