I think I paid by Paypal once. Another time I used Alibaba. In either case you have a method to reclaim your money if the vendor does not deliver. I did get my money back when I paid via Alibaba, because I did not receive some items when expected. A few months later I realized the products were delivered to a mail office in Siguatepeque. I picked them up and paid the vendor.

Hi Mark

Hi Mariano,

I don't know about that machine. The machine we use is:

It has been working well for a year. You just have to ask for a 110V transformer because most machines from China are 220V and the plugs will not fit in our 220V sockets. Other option is to get an electrician to swap out the plug after you get the machine.

That other machine you suggested might be good also, but I have not used it. It looks like about the same price. I think we paid about $220 for ours, but shipping is added after that.

Hi Mariano,

Which machine are you talking about, the wet grinder? Or the cocoa butter press?

Thanks,
