Even though I love my Behmor, I still enjoy the feel and smell of the Whirley-Pop. I have a glass topped electric range and my heat settings are going to be different than yours but here’s my formula. I put the empty W.P. on a large burner, set my timer for 4 minutes, turn on the range to a setting of 6 (out of 10) and weigh out about 10 oz. of coffee. When the timer beeps, I re-set it to 9 minutes and add my coffee. I find the first crack starts around 6 minutes in and I then turn it down to 5 and increase the pace of my stirring. You’ll see wisps of smoke trickling out and I turn my kitchen exhaust fan on and start peeking every 30 seconds or so. I’ve printed out a bean color chart and have glued beans on top of the printed ones. I take it off the heat when the color hits one shade lighter than the color I’m trying to hit. I stir for maybe a minute longer and then dump the beans in one of two colanders and head outside and start tossing them back and forth between colanders. I find I lose the chaff if I do a "high" pour and continue until the beans are warm and not hot. The coffee quality is as good as anything out there. For anyone else thinking you need big $$$$$ to get into this delicious hobby (once you’ve tasted fresh beans, properly roasted, you will have great difficulty drinking the more mundane coffee out there), a thrift shop visit can get you a hot air popcorn popper which works or an unwanted bread machine (cover removed) which when a cheap heatgun is pointed at the stirring beans also turns out some great fresh roasted coffee. I just now Whirley Popped a batch of Ethiopian Kochere District YirgaCheffe which I’m looking forward to sipping tomorrow. pb, I’ve brought up purchasing my dream brewer, the Technivorm, to the missus but I”m told that the Met is not looking for the next castrato so I guess I’ll be leaving the world with the two I came in with.[8D]
