Review: The Pop Pop Popper - I looked at many popcorn poppers and this one had the best reviews on popping and functionality. It pops the popcorn quickly, fits under our counter cabinet, not to heavy, and looks Great alongside our other countertop items. The popcorn taste is Excellent. We do not use the onboard butter melting popcorn measuring scoop. We melt our own and that way the unit always just needs to be wiped out with a damp cloth and dried and it is ready for another pop. Excellent value and works like a champ. Yes a few Kernels may come out when it first starts popping but no more than 3-4 that we had the first time. If you tilt it slightly back you will only get 1 or 2 and that is all. We Lub it..
Review: Works great, and if you love popcorn and want have a healthy popcorn get it - I love it! I use it often and enjoy watching the kernels pop, it’s so much fun. It only takes about 3–4 minutes for the popcorn to be ready, and the house doesn’t end up smelling like butter and popcorn all day. It’s great, tastes fresh, and as long as you follow the instructions on the popcorn popper, it works perfectly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I roast coffee beans in it**
A: The ideal popper for roasting coffee, it seems, is higher wattage and circular vents. It seems to be difficult to find both features in any current model. This model has higher wattage but blows straight upward through a central vent. Despite that, many people report that it works fairly well as a roaster. Myself, I have a 1200 watt model with circular vents. I have had fantastic results with it. Don't listen to people who say you can't get good results unless you have 1350 watts or more - it's not true. I never roast darker than full city. If you like a really dark roast with oils coming to the surface then a lower wattage model might struggle with that and this model might be better for you. For most everyone else I would really recommend a circular popper for better results.

**Q: Is it BPA free**
A: I'm not sure about the plastic chute, but the inside of the container is metal. This is where the heating occurs and popcorn is placed. I'm assuming that the only area that is plastic and may contain BPA is the plastic top, but the popcorn only touches it for a brief second as it descends the chute into your bowl. I'm sure there is very little exposure to BPA if the plastic even contains it. Since I only use it for roasting coffee beans and the beans roast inside the metal interior I don't concern myself very much about the BPA in the plastic if any.For further information you can Email Presto at www.GoPresto.com or call them at 1-800-877-0441 weekdays 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM (Central Time).

**Q: Is this made in China or USA**
A: Currently, there are six for sale on Ebay which were made in the USA, including the same model I use (still) to make great popcorn, which I bought in 1996; made in Eau Claire, WI by Presto Industries. Ah...the good ol' days, when we kept manufacturing here, before NAFTA and "China, Most Favored Nation Status" took hold. Ugh.

**Q: I am limited for counter space.  How tall is this machine and approximately what is the diameter of the base?**
A: With the cover on, it is 14" high. The diameter is 6.5".  It you take the cover off and store it in a cabinet, the height is 9.5".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great air popper for a healthy snack
*by C***G on September 26, 2025*

Perfectly pops popcorn. It’s easy to use and works consistently well. Very quick to make a big bowl of popcorn. I don’t use the measuring cup as a butter melter, just too messy and not worth the clean up. But otherwise this is a cute, reliable air popper.
