“BREAD MACHINES AND HEAT GUNS WERE NEVER DESIGNED TO ROAST COFFEE”
There are three problems I’ve run into since roasting with the Poppery
- Small batch sizes (a maximum of 1/2 cup at a time)
- Inconsistent roast times (the Poppery continually gets hotter - shorting roasts, burning beans)
- The ambient temperature needs to be warm. So, no roasting in the Minnesota winters
Looks like a new roasting technique solves all three problems at once.
Like podcasting, I’m pretty sure I’ve got all the necessary gear in the basement. More later.

With apologies to all the godcasters, the “Nine Wives” episode of Numb3rs uses a religious leader’s podcast to track him down.
I can’t believe how many times I heard the word “podcast” used in bad dialog….and this is after I was baffled why they didn’t have an iPod in the Prius.
Crazy TV.
