Been following this thread for some time and really enjoy the updates,
so i saw this GIF posted on Imgur and thought it might be of interest to all.

Iām a bit low on mental energy so I canāt do my usual full posts of encouraging things, and the machine currently has a bunch of things that arenāt set quite right for the current batch of kernels which makes them less fluffy etcā¦ But I wanted to say that the Caramel flavour is back again, this time even better tasting than before. Iāve only mixed up a small amount of the flavour for it to see how it goes, and if all is good Iāll order more supplies & mix up some more. Caramel is my personal favourite of the flavours on offer, and this new blend is even smoother than before too. Enjoy!

Iām very bad at remembering to update this thread every time I make a change or improvement to this machine. Either way, I thought Iād let everyone know the popcorn machine is up and running again!
(pop pop!)
We also have a new flavour system! The old automatic oil-based delivery system was so prone to problems I thought Iād try some shakers to see if we can trust members with them. Weāve got four flavours on offer right now - the always-popular cinema-style butter salt, the even more elusive proper-fish-and-chip-shop chicken salt, chocolate glaze powder and caramel glaze powder. Also note that every single one of these flavours is not easy to obtain. Three I personally import from overseas, two are hand ground by myself with a mortar & pestle, one is not even available for sale to individuals without an ABN, etc. This means a single serving of these seasonings is the most expensive/time-consuming part of a serving of popcorn - they are not to be used for any other purpose other than with popcorn bought from the machine. Zero exceptions. Doing so is stealing. Donāt do it.

Happy munching!

Thanks for the update on your popcorn adventures! Itās always exciting to hear about new flavors hitting the scene, especially when itās a classic like caramel. Even though the machine might not be cooperating perfectly right now, your dedication to refining the flavor profile is truly admirable. Itās all about the journey, right?
