I bought a little microwave popcorn popper from Speak To Me. It comes with a little silicone measure, and I use popcorn that I bought from the store. It makes just enough popcorn for one person. The only negative thing about it is the lid, which doesn't stay on very well. I set the microwave for 3 minutes, and stop the oven when the popping reduces.
