Sweet Dark Coffee With The Sweet Marias Popper

This week we go to the "dark side" of a medium roast that produces some sweet dark coffee with the Sweet Marias Popper ! I used a 13 dollar digital meat thermometer https://amzn.to/3nB2WVZ to monitor temperatures while the Popper's adjustable heat control allowed me to manage the temperatures and control my roast. I also used a helpful coffee roasting App https://coffeeroastingtimer.github.io/ to help me monitor my times, especially the development phase. All of these helped me craft some really good coffee with the Popper from Sweet Marias and for that reason I wanted to test the Popper with a darker roast. I discovered I can produce a well developed coffee that produces dark chocolate, with sweet notes and no bitterness. Imagine, a dark roast coffee that isn't bitter 8-)
I really like the Popper from Sweet Marias. If you are looking for an inexpensive coffee roaster where you can control heat, the Popper* is a great start!
