Sorry can't ship to the UK.

Looking to sell our used Ambex ym-2. Ambex Coffee Roasters and Grinders, Inc. We are the second owners and it has served us well to get the coffee roasting business going, but eventually needed to step up to a bigger Ambex roaster. Since owning we have replaced the Watlow controller when the...

We do a lot of festivals and it really varies on the type of crowd. It helps a lot to talk to other vendors before if you can and find out what products sell well at that festival and the type of crowd to expect. Then determine how that fits in with your buyers and product. Make sure you have...

So here is our ym-2. You can see gas gauge on side and flame control knob on panel. Then our new to us ym-10 with no gauge and no flame control. There is a manual valve on the left side below where the gas gauge would be. So my plan is to add a gauge which is easy enough and then see if I...

I need 8" and approx 30' total so price difference will be pretty large. Thanks for the link, it at least lets me compare pricing. Seems like the place that worked my quote is pretty much inline price wise with that website.

Are you using the heavy wall, the 18 gauge or the standard gauge QF duct? I ask because I worked on a layout with my local Nordfab supplier and they spec'ed the standard gauge.

Sorry didnt notice the responses. I'll post a pic this weekend.

So we made the jump and purchased a "new" to us larger Ambex. Going from a 2k to a 10k and the new machine just arrived. Looking at the control panel we noticed a difference in the controls on the 10k from what we have on the 2k. On the 2k we have a dial for gas control and a gauge for...

Yeah, I was talking to Amer. He had one 10k in stock from a cancelled order but it sold before I could firm up finances on my side. Worked out anyway, I ended up getting a used Ambex 10k from the middle of the country. Just waiting for the truck to get it here.

For our first year of operating I printed our logo labels at home. Purchased our labels from onlinelabels.com, Much cheaper then Avery and a huge selection. Eventually I got tired of printing them and found gotprint.com. Their 3.5x3.5 costs me .06 in 2500 quantities, cant be beat. We do use...

Anyone have a lead on a 10k for sale or coming up for sale near the northeast? Seems everything on Ebay recently has been out west. Prefer an Ambex but am open to others. We could also include a trade with our 2k in the deal if someone was interested.

We've been using a Square stand. Ipad and USB cash drawer for a few months now its been working well. We also use Square on our Iphone/Androids devices for mobile sales. The card reader on the Stand is much better then the plug in card reader so that has been really useful. The cash drawer is...

The cashier should be entering a tare before weighing and charging. When they scan the item or enter from a scan sheet it's probably already calculated.

Yes, per hour base salary but I was also thinking a commission also for some incentive. I'm just not sure how to structure the commission. For instance maybe a percentage of sales from a new account for 3 months or maybe the first 10 orders. Something along those lines. Yes, no employees yet...

Back in July I opened a small roasting business with 2 other people and everything has been going really well. We have built a very good reputation and have a growing group of loyal customers and have been gaining ground in the local retail businesses. We are also about to open a small cafe in...
