Grindeurs/Melangers that are not from India

Posted in: Classifieds F/S or Wanted

Hello!

I have used both Inno and Santha small melangers for 3 years now- and am looking to buy a larger melanger. One that can handle at least 40kg. Does anyone have any sources beyond the two mentioned above? I have had numerous problems with both companies - and would actually like to have a grinduer closer to the ones I saw in Mexico- where the stones hang a bit higher and tend to be denser (in comparison with the lava rock type) than the ones produced in India. Are any bean to bar makers on here using a stone melanger that is different? Any input would be helpful!

Thanks!

Tegan

Hello,

I have a small bean to bar company and currently use stone grindeurs on my nibs. I'm happy with the texture & flavor development- but recently someone asked me if it really would be any different if I used a steel or metal melanger.

Does anyone have any first hand information about this? Experimented?

I looked for information in previous forums but didn't find it- please forgive me (and send me to the correct link) if this is a topic that has already been thoroughly covered!

Thank you in advance!
