Cleaning an oily, stained popper drum
psciabb	#1 Posted on 08/13/2021 4:17 PM
Newbie Posts: 2 Joined: August 12, 2021	Hi All, I've been using a Poppery II to roast beans for about 2 years. The quality has started to suffer and I think it's due to a build-up of oils on the drum. Does anyone know how to remove the gunk from the drum? Or is it the end of the popper's usefulness as a roaster? Thanks!

Please be aware that my machine is from stainless steel and glass, I have no idea how the aluminium of most popper roast chamber reacts to this cleaning paste. I emphasize this because I seen aluminium moka pots ruined by dish washing solvents ! Edited by renatoa on 08/15/2021 9:11 AM
