After trying my first roast in a Prima popper, I was quite pleased with the results, but I was surprised at how many beans I lost during the process! The little chaps kept leaping to freedom, and I had a fair few on the floor by the end. Even keeping the clear plastic lid on (which I did to help direct the chaff) didn't stop them pinging off the underside of the lid and jumping out the chute at the front.
I tipped the machine back a bit which seemed to help keep the beans in there (don't know if that adversely affects the roast?) - but does anyone have any other tips? Should I put more beans in there so they're not as 'active'? I used 85g. Trouble is, as the roast progresses they 'liven up' anyway, so I don't think that'll make much difference.
Thanks!
