I converted an old air popper, adding speed control to the fan. Slowing down the fan heats the roasting chamber up more. I removed the overheating safety. Yes, this is dangerous, and shouldn’t be done. However, I rewire things all the time, and watch it closely. I roast outside, of course, and my next one I will add a heating element shut-off, to assist cooling down the popper between batches. I roast 2/3 cup at a time, and really like the Sumatra beans the most. Green coffee beans are available in the small town I live in, and if you look around, you’ll find some locally or on-line. This makes great coffee in just 7 minutes, give or take. I really love great coffee and dark beer. Not at the same time.
