I bought this popper to make roasted coffee, having used the Poppery II for many years for that purpose, with great success. However, I can’t recommend this popper for that purpose.
With the Presto, the hot air blows at the bottom of the bean chamber with such force that the green bean were flying out of the popper. I added more beans, which kept the air velocity down to the point where the beans stayed in the popper (more or less). The problem with this fix is that the beans in the air flow cooked in a flash, leaving the rest of the beans in the cooking chamber uncooked. I have been using a Poppery II for a few years and wanted to add another roaster to the stable so that roast day went a bit faster (roast one batch while cooling beans and loading the other). I’m going to locate another Poppery II. The only good news is that I can pop some popcorn with an air popper that isn’t coated with roasted coffee oils.

I can’t believe they still make this atrocity from the 70s. It made dry, godawful popcorn then, and it appears that it will today. It’s still just as ugly, too.
This loud, hot eyesore kept grinding and grinding for the longest time before egesting the equivalent of kapok or some other packing media in lieu of tasty popcorn. Blech!

THE FIRST STAGES OF THIS MACHINE ARE IMPORTANT TO KNOW.
SUPPLIES NEEDED— A COUPLE OF PIECES OF BLUE PAINTERS TAPE.
AFTER LOADING POPCORN IN AND STARTING UP ,,THE POPPER WILL ALWAYS THROW A FEW HOT!!!! KERNELS.
THEY WILL FLY AROUND AND ANNOY YOU BUT ONCE IT GETS GOING THE AIRPOP IS THE
BETTER POP. THAT SAID, PLEASE TAPE THE UPPER PLASTIC PART TO THE UNIT, AS IT CAN AND WILL
SLIP RIGHT OFF AT THE WORST MOMENT.THE RIDGE THAT IT FITS INTO IS VERY SHALLOW AND YOU WILL
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR BY TAPING. AS FAR AS KEEPING THE UNPOPPED KERNELS IN UNTIL THE UNIT HEATS UP IS A WORK IN PROGRESS-CAREFUL IT DOES GET HOT RIGHT AWAY.
NO—- ON OFF SWITCH.

I bought this popcorn maker because it was the only one I could afford at the time. I bought it last year, and I have only used it twice. I used to have another popcorn popper that I loved…this doesn’t live up to that one. I wouldn’t buy it again.
