I recommend doing this activity outdoors, but make sure it is a warm day above (60 degrees). I attempted to roast on a cool day and my results were not good at all, I couldn't get the roast to progress further than first crack. I've heard that placing a cardboard box over the airpopper will assist in holding in the heat. I had fun with the skillet method too, it was extremely easy to roast and the chaff took care of itself. I'm drinking some great Sumatran that I roasted myself. It is a cheaper way to get fresh, high quality coffee. Be sure your airpopper is getting hot enough.

It is really easy to roast in a popper. The only apparent drawback is that you can only roast a little at a time. I roasted enough today to last about a week. It's pretty dummy-proof though, just don't jump the gun like I did and try to drink it too early. I don't think 'Green Coffee' will be trendy drink! Thanks again for dropping by!

I may have to try this out sooner! It looks like fun. You made the roasting look so simple, I think I'll have to look for a popcorn popper soon. I learned a lot in this video, while you were demonstrating the roasting, but also while you were answering that question. Thanks. The first thing I noticed was the fire extinguisher.
