I murder popcorn roasters
In the last few months, I've burned up two presto poplite's and a cheap roaster from Meijer while roasting coffee. What's the deal? My first poplite lasted about a year. My newest one made three half cup servings of coffee before quitting.

Do you have a voltage regulator? I seem to remember that being a crucial component of roasting in a popper.

helps with roasting period in my mind... the voltage swings at my house in VA were pretty amazing, the Variac really smoothed things out.

This.
Just don't walk away from it... you might set yours on fire... (or so I've heard...)

Could very well be. When I roasted, I used a roaster and not a popper. Others who do will chime in, I hope.
