Hi Antonino-

Thanks for the information, did you have to do any modifications to the equipment?

I wanted to see if any chocolate producers have used coffee roasters to roast cacao. I'm looking for a mid-size capacity roaster that doesn't look like a toaster oven and doesn't cost $30K. There are a good number of coffee roasters that are significantly less expensive and are much more attractive.

Need to find a Roaster and Winnower

Posted in: Tasting Notes

Greetings Chocolate Lifers! I'm new to the forum, but I'm working on a project in Belize were we'll be doing bean to bar production. I'm on the hunt for a small to medium size roaster and winnower that isn't too high tech and could be worked on in the region of Punta Gorda. Any resources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
