  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • Air popcorn popper
  • Stainless steel colander, chilled
  • Green, unroasted coffee beans
  • Large bowl for catching chaff
  • Medium bowl to hold roasted beans
  • Timer

Instructions

  1. Gather all supplies in a well-ventilated area. Measure green coffee beans according to the popcorn popper manufacturer’s instructions, usually ½ cup. Add beans to popper reservoir. Place a large bowl near the chute to catch the chaff, or place popper next to a sink.
  2. Turn on the popper, tilting the chute upward at about a 45° angle to prevent beans from flying out of the chute.
  3. Listen for the first CRACK. Start timer as soon as first crack is heard, about 2 minutes for a medium roast. (See chart and notes above for more roasting times and tips.)
  4. Unplug popper when desired roast is nearly reached. Carefully pour coffee beans into chilled colander and toss beans around in colander until cool enough to touch.
  5. Pour cooled beans into a bowl and leave uncovered for 4-24 hours to allow for off-gassing.
  6. Grind, brew, and enjoy every sip of your home-roasted coffee!
