Whirley-Pop Stovetop Coffee Roaster

The Whirley-Pop is designed for use on gas or electric coil stoves and camping grills. It will not work on induction cooktops because the base material is not induction-compatible.

Since this is a manual roaster, you rely on your senses. You will need to listen for the 'first crack' and 'second crack' of the beans and visually monitor their color through the lid to achieve your desired roast level.

Yes, you must continuously turn the hand crank throughout the entire 10-20 minute roasting process. This constant agitation is essential to prevent the beans from scorching and to ensure an even roast.

The unit does not have a built-in smoke filtration system. It is highly recommended that you use your stove's exhaust hood on high or roast near an open window to manage the smoke produced during the process.

While the capacity ranges from 1 to 8 ounces, roasting between 4 and 6 ounces typically provides the most consistent airflow and heat distribution. Smaller batches are easier to manage when you are first learning the rhythm of the crank.
