Used Equipment Sites


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

I noticed that some people were referring to auctions where used bean to bar equipment might be purchased. Can anybody list those sites. I see people buying those antique melangeurs and having them refurbished, but where are they buying them from?

Fermented cacao beans wanted


Posted in: Classifieds F/S or Wanted

Hi Mr. C, Yes I am interested in getting some of your beans. I may be going to costa rica in january but would prefer to get some beans before then. I will check your web site and contact you for pricing and availability.

Ciao, Dan

Fermented cacao beans wanted


Posted in: Classifieds F/S or Wanted

I am new to chocolate life and am looking for information on how to buy/import cacao beans from other countries. I am thinking about getting 100 kilos each, from a variety of countries to make some bean to bar.

Is it easiest/cheapest to buy from an importer, and who would people recommend?

If I went to costa rica, found a great farmer, bought some beans, how would I get them home?

Where can I find a listing of fair prices for cacao so I have something to compare to?

Thanks, Dan
