I used to have a popcorn popper with the side vents, but that broke; so now I use a popcorn popper with the vertical vents and a glass chimney from an oil lamp. I usually roast through the end of the first crack, which usually winds up around Full City.
I have noticed a number of comments suggesting a new grinder. I’ve always had an “if it ain’t broke” mentality when it comes to buying new things, but I saw Costco had a burr grinder for ~50USD; so I may try to pick it up.
I am a little curious, though. How does that grinding method affect the flavor? I thought it just affected the uniformity of the grind…
