00:01
hey this is bear from portakeeper and i
00:03
wanted to do a
00:04
look at popcorning in this turn grinder
00:08
so i had a couple people they're asking
00:11
questions about popcorn and if you don't
00:12
know what popcorning is
00:14
the beans as they hit these outer burrs
00:18
they'll pop up like popcorn or they
00:20
don't really burst or anything they just
00:21
kind of pop up against the top of the
00:23
cap
00:24
so it can be kind of annoying i know a
00:27
lot of people think it
00:28
it can affect some of the grind
00:29
consistency most grinders work better
00:31
when they are
00:32
full of beans versus just a couple in
00:34
there
00:36
so let's just take a quick look i'm
00:38
gonna use some
00:39
good brothers coffee and where's my
00:44
scoop at there we go
00:47
let's just throw like a scoop in i'm
00:49
just gonna do it without the lid on
00:57
i'm getting some around my counter i
00:59
don't have the bellows in so we're not
01:00
going to blow it out but it's kind of a
01:02
mess
01:04
so you can do it two different ways i
01:06
mean
01:07
the bellow itself or you can pop the lid
01:10
off
01:11
and leave the bellow in so another
01:14
method that you could do would be just
01:15
to remove this top lid
01:18
so let's see if any come out when we
01:20
just do the top lid
01:28
i lost one whole bean right there
01:31
[Applause]
01:34
you can pop that lid on i really don't
01:36
think it's that big a deal with the
01:37
popcorning
01:39
i guess you guys you may have your own
01:42
opinion on that
01:43
but i don't think it's a big deal so
01:46
just put your lid on in my opinion if
01:48
you didn't know it you can actually take
01:49
this lid off of the bellows
01:51
it normally comes on like that and if
01:54
you don't want to use the bellows you
01:55
can just pop it right on so that's a
01:56
nice clean little look
01:58
i saw someone suggest maybe grind it
02:00
this way and then put the bellows on i'm
02:02
like that's just a lot of messing around
02:04
i mean you're already single dosing
02:06
i don't see how hard it is just to pop
02:07
this fill that up put that
02:09
in if it a couple of them pop up and hit
02:11
this lid and then grind
02:13
not the end of the world i don't think
02:16
i'm pretty picky
02:17
i don't think it's that big a deal if
02:19
you're gonna leave the lid off i got a
02:20
mess on the counter
02:22
but normally you'd have this lid on so i
02:25
wouldn't just say like you're just gonna
02:26
leave it open and never
02:28
use the bellows i think the bellows is a
02:30
pretty integral part to this grinder in
02:32
my opinion
02:33
i wouldn't use just the lid you're gonna
02:36
retain
02:36
quite a bit without it so
02:40
that's my opinion let me know what you
02:45
think
