Can I roast coffee in this?

I do not know if you can roast coffee in the Wabash Popcorn Popper... since I do not drink coffee I have never thought about trying to roast coffee beans. I would think that you would have to spend along time turning the handle to achieve the results you might want. Just my opinion anyway.

Yes, as another post already said. I would only add that if you want to use it for both coffee and popcorn, that you get one for each. (and no, I don't work for Wabash Valley Farms)

YES! You can roast coffee in this. I routinely roast up to 1 lb at a time with excellent results.

Yes, this is absolutely one of the BEST low cost coffee bean roasters anywhere. Just don't use much more than 3/4 cup of green coffee beans at a time, roast on LOW heat, and stir regularly until the second "crack" (pop) of the beans-- about 6 to 9 minutes for gas/electric respectively (because electric on medium low keeps going on and off). Some folks use nut roasters for this, but they are open and the chaff gets everywhere. With this unit, you just take the hot roasted beans outside and rinse the chaff off, NO mess. Why spend $400 on a coffee roaster when this makes better roasts and is more hands on fun! PLUS it works in power outages too!!!! Get good fresh green Arabica beans, roast in this, grind medium fine, then brew in your Bialetti stovetop unit for perfect espresso!

I've never tried it...I see that one poster in here stated it could be done. In all reality, I leave coffee roasting to the professionals. There are a lot of places that roast coffee really good (Starbucks and Peets nationally, and tons of other small local coffee places) so I leave the coffee to them. This machine is a great little popcorn maker, and that's what I use it for.

There should be no problem, but I do not see a good reason to do it. Not even for reheating coffee. I would never reheat coffee.

Yes you can. It works just like a full size coffee maker only it allows you to make one cup at a time.The unit has a permenant basket(removeable for cleaning), a travel mug and works great.You will have a full cup of coffee in five minutes.

It works fine to roast green coffee beans. Wish it held more, since I drink too much coffee, but that's my only complaint.

I don't know. However, if you use it for spices only it might be ok. Otherwise, you could end up with peppery or spicey coffee.

Sure you could! It would be an easy, tidy way to make coffee by the cup, without a coffee maker or a French press. Just put some coffee grounds in the strainer and steep like tea :) Then, lift out the strainer and voila: coffee with no grounds in it. Great idea.

You can but you'll want to cut about 1/2" off the top of the filter. Otherwise the top of the filter folds in and coffee grinds get into your coffee.

I do not see how you could....maybe scoot it down? I don't use mine anymore because it didn't keep coffee hot.

It depends on how fine you grind your coffee beans and of course the roast and amount.It's at your discretion. Also, just off the boil water to initially of soak the coffee. Then finish by pouring slowly in a circular motion the amount of water proportionally to the beans. There should be no problem, but it does take some patience.

No. Maybe but boil the water separately. Don't put the immediate boiling water so as not to burn the coffee. Wait a few secs.

This machine is designed for roasting half pound coffee. Anthing else will be your story to share. For my machine, I won't even consider it.

Almost certainly not. It doesn't fit under my current coffee maker and I used to have a Keurig. That said, the mug is good enough that I don't mind brewing coffee into a measuring cup or something and pouring it into my mug. :)

Yes, any source of heat will work ...If the heat is too high, coffee may have a burnt taste. Getting the optimum temperature for brewing may take some trial and error.

Yes. But I much prefer the taste of coffee filtered through the ABLE metal coffee filter. Try a bunch of different water coffee ratios, brew times, and at least try a reusable filter. Home roasted coffee is best, but you can make even the pre ground over roasted stinkers from the grocery store taste o.k. This is a pretty forgiving method because off the sort brewing times.

Yes, but it will roast the beans better if you replace the Kettle Krazy's plastic bowl/cover with a convection oven lid, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NJGCUK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This Kettle Krazy is actually better to use for roasting coffee beans than the http://www.amazon.com/West-Bend-82306-6-Quart-Electric/dp/B00004RC6R/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1396541674&sr=1-1&keywords=stir+crazy - 1) because the stirrers are thicker than the Stir Crazy, and 2) the heat base in which the stirrer attaches to is metal, not plastic. If you Google Stir Crazy Convection Coffee Roasting, you'll see what I'm talking about, however, all those examples, they had to modify the Stir Crazy by replacing the cheaper stirrer, plastic heat base and some examples they even added one of those stands or a base from a wok so that the convection lid they're using had enough room to sit or fit on the Stir Crazy. The convection oven I pointed out above is unlike the ones in the examples where it has a taller glass cover, which is perfectly designed to fit over the Kettle Krazy, due to the KK's taller metal heating base. Plus, Kettle Krazy has a Nut setting, which IMHO, is better for roasting the coffee beans vs. using the popcorn setting, however, the real roasting will come from the convection oven lid.

I am sorry, but I do not know if you can cook coffee beans? It is a slow cooker and full oven all in one if that helps you to understand what it does.

I browned my roast in it, then slow cooked it on the stove top. So I would think that you could.
