Hello Chef! Do you still have this? What are you asking for it, please?

Hi Robin, yes still have it available. I'm selling for $7,500. Price new is $16,000

Let me know

Complete waste of money.

Why?

Because as small business owners we ALL have oodles and oodles of spare time to stand around and feed tiny amounts of nibs into a machine three times, to grind it into a gritty paste that can't be used for anything other than making micro batch chocolate, which of course is what the micro batch refiners are designed to do - GRIND nibs into chocolate!

There are other more useful things to spend $7500 on.

Brad.

Apparently you're an expert! Your comments don't help. Be focus on doing your amazing bean to bar chocolates and no trying to interfere on a classified.

I use this equipment since 3 years and yes it is for small batch chocolate with an excellent result. If you know this equipment, you are not obliged to pass 3 times.

I post information and opinions on forums like this to help people in the chocolate community as a whole, not just you.

If I think a machine's a waste of money I will be happy to say so, AND explain why if pressed.  Personally I don't care if it hurts your feelings.  The least I can do is prevent someone else from making the same bad decision you did.

Further to that, IF this was simply just a classified ad, there would be no ability for people to contribute, or offer information.  Inquiries would be confidential.  However, this is a FORUM, where everyone can contribute.  So I did.

Sometimes the truth hurts.  Buy some tissue and move on.
