Ha, so there - one more thing off the list - (i dont know why i am most productive at such activities right before exams) - i tried this at home, and with some rather interesting results...
Hot Air Popcorn Popper. While there’s some debate on this, it’s preferable if you get a model that has side vents inside the machine, at the base of the interior funnel. Some models have a grate on the bottom, and are generally not recommended.
Mesh colander One big one should suit, but two are better. You need these to cool down your beans as quick as possible - tossing the sizzling hot beans from one to the other is how you do it. Alternatively, you can use an extra large cookie baking sheet - the large surface area will quickly "leech" away excess heat from the beans.
Large Bowl: really, any bowl will do; but it has to be big. You place the bowl in front of the popcorn popper’s air chute to collect all the chaff that will blow off your coffee as it is roasting.
Oven Mitts: to handle the hot popper as soon as you unplug it and want to remove the top and dump the beans out into your colander or cookie sheet.
