Ball mill vs Roll mill refiner

what are the differencies?

Hi All, 

i am doing some research on the pro/cons of having a ball mill refiner or a roll mill refiner for chocolate.

i have spoken to chocolate makers that have a ball mill machine and they wish they had a roll refiner and viceversa!

The final output (chocolate) is the same, the process slightly different. but wich one is better than other?

As small batch chocolate maker like many out there nowadays, soon or later we will have to encounter this dilemma. Maybe this topic can be used in the future by others.

Thanks for the input!

Using chocolate as bear bait is (finally) banned in New Hampshire. In 2016 it will no longer be legal to use cupcakes or other baked goods. Really - you just can't make these things up.

Back from Peru and Nicaragua. I picked up some sort of bug just before leaving Peru and have been having trouble shaking it. This is the first time in all my travels to origin since 2003 that this has happened. Heading for a week in Tokyo from August 3 and then back to Nicaragua on August 15 for the Academia de Cacao so taking care of the grunge is a top priority.
