Kelsey I'll no doubt be talking about this with him more over the coming months. Even tho he's owned cafes for a number of years I get the feeling that for whatever reason this one has stoked the passion that stated him down this path to begin with. And of course I'd be very interested in being able to play on one of these beauties myself.
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
