Hi ,
I have been doing some experimenting roasting using a Popper and Pan roasting .
With the Popper I used it as is with various amounts of beans(80-120g) and also attached a chimney to extend the roasting time I got it up to about 12mins for 2nd crack .
I also tried pan roasting and have roasted up to about 400g of beans at one time , roasting time to 2nd crack was about 35mins .
My initial thoughts are that pan roasting produces a better tasting coffee . The popper certainly produces a better looking bean quite evenly roasted but I felt the taste of the pan roasted beans was certainly better . I was wondering what other people thought.
