Posted Tue Jun 10, 2003, 3:10pm Subject: Whirley-Popped beans slow to grind?
I'm roasting Espresso Vivace's green blend, and when I roast in the air popper, I can grind (Solis Maestro - original) the beans for a double filter basket in about 30 seconds. But when I roast with the Whirley-Pop, it takes like 2 minutes, and I have to manually force the beans down into the burrs, the burrs heat up, and little square pellets of ground coffee drop into the "coffee-catcher-plastic-basket-thingy".
The WP doesn't roast as evenly as the air popper, and with both methods I roast just into the second crack 10-15 seconds.
