RichardM Kelsey, Keep an eye on the one on ebay. It's a 10kg Has Garanti for sub $10k. If it doesn't sell, they might get desperate, and it's up in Toowoomba, and four years old.
FreshCoffee2 If you havent already seen it, or the seller hasnt already PM'd you, take a look at the topic that is now directly above this, or click here: http://www.bestcafes.com.au/forum/classified-user-wtb-and-for-sale/for-sale-coffee-tech-2-kg-torrefattore/msg30224/?boardseen#new
Kelsey Thanks Fresh Coffee - I did notice that and have alerted my friend. I suspect it's a little bigger than he's after, but boy would I love to convince him into it... if only so I could have a play around... 😃
FreshCoffee2 I dont expect a 1 kilo machine of similar type (drum batch roaster) would be any smaller or take up any less room....it will only vary a little in the size of the drum. I expect the pricing on the other hand will probably be less if your friend opts for a turkish made machine.
beanflying Worth mentioning here too Peter Wolff has a W1 Giesen for sale at present. Won't be cheap but it is in Brisbane and well worth getting to know him for your friend.

shape_shifter for sure Brett, I'm so lucky I can do what I want inside, when we build a house or convert one, I'm having a room dedicated to coffee ;D
