Popcorn Popper Coffee Roasting

So I did another batch and since I am new to this I am learning a few things that help...

--A strong light or even a flashlight so you can see the beans as they are roasting is pretty dang helpful
--take the beans out a little bit before they are done as they continue to roast after they are removed, even if you put them on a cookie sheet.
--your nose tells you alot about what's going on with them.
--first crack second crack. It doesn't really happen all the time. Sometimes it cracks sometimes it doesn't.
--you can mask the actual flavor of your coffee with cream and sugar, try leaving it out, especially the sugar.

These are just my observations/opinions. YMMV.
