Popcorn Popper Coffee Roasting

[kenstogie]

Tonight was round two and I am adjusting some of the stuff I'd done before.

A-I put a little more in as there was hardly enough for a pot and one of the tutorials I read said the MORE beans makes your roast hotter. (yes I know that sounds counter-intuitive as the writer of the tutorial pointed out) Instead of the 1/2 cup from before I put in probably 2/3 cup or completely filled the popcorn holder on top.

B-I roasted a different blend which was a city+ to full city recommendation on the label


This roast clearly had a first crack that sounded like popcorn. I also noticed (barely) a second crack. At that time I stopped the roasting and dumped it on the aluminum tray as per the instructions from the aforementioned tutorial.
Total time was 10-11 mins.


I also noticed some color variations in the beans.






I don't know if this is normal but if it tastes good who cares. I am also going to wait until tomorrow to brew (press) the coffee.
