Some snobs may consider this downgraditis, I decided that I would like to have a roaster that can do small batches, my KKTO cant do much below 250 to 275 grams without building a new roasting pan. So I did a very quick and dirty popper roaster build.
• Buy a Target popper on special cheap.
• Unscrew the green top cover.
• Fit a 175mm section of 75mm OD. aluminium tube (an off-cut from my pool-cover roller). This aluminium tube is 72.4 mm ID.
and is a perfect fit on the popper tube.
• Roast 80 grams Yirg (total time from purchase to completion of roast 45 min).
Downgraditis, no way, this is a great little roaster, good fun and fast. Probably better with 100 grams of beans.
