WTB - Need a ~5k Coffee Roaster

[jumpymonkey]

I'm in need of a ~5k roaster or something close. I need a clean roaster that works perfectly with no previous fires or damage.

I am very serious and have cash ready to make this happen soon. I'm open to most models but have experience/knowledge and preference for Ambex, SanFranciscan, or Diedrich.

Please PM me if you have something immediately available and are looking for an easy/quick transaction.

why not buy new if you have the money? New 5 kilo roasters are not that expensive..plus they have never seen a fire. :wink:

Well I certainly would have piece of mind knowing the roaster would be in 'new' condition. Right now I'm hoping to find a used roaster that is available immediately or at least sooner that the time to manufacture a brand new one. I'm also hoping to find something close enough to pickup or within a days drive.

Followup: I was able to purchased a neverbeenused Ambex YM-10 (from a 3rd party) and stay within my $10k budget. I have previously owned a YM-15 and am very happy to return to the Ambex family.

congrats! Did the sale include everything or just the roaster..such as the pipes, chaff collector and what not?

The deal included the ym-10, coffee grinder, Primera LX800 Label Printer, a few cases of vented foil bags, heat sealers, pack of methos, and a whopping freight bill from my 'friends' at ABF.

Used Roaster

Check with Dan @ US Roaster Corp. Has a lot of used roasters and might even have something new.

Also Jay at CoffeeTec.com

Ummm, I've already purchased as indicated by my previous post. I did, however, have a nice chat with Dan while researching my options. He's a friendly guy.

I think you were one step ahead of me buying that machine (from North Carolina ?). So now trying to decide Ambex or U.S. roaster.

I did purchase the unit from a gentleman in Troutman, NC. At the time I saw this deal posted on Ebay, I had been seriously looking for a couple months so I acted quickly and wired the money the very next day.

I have this roaster up and running. I've roasted a few batches and the results are very good. The roaster seems to be louder than my previous ym-15 and has more vibration. I'm hoping it's because the roaster is new and needs time to break in or maybe it is not level. I have to install a natural gas conversion kit next week so I'll check to see if it's level.

That was the one. Ended up buying one from Dan at U.S. Roasters

USRC

You will enjoy the USRC roaster. I recently ordered a sample roaster from Dan. Hopefully sometime in Dec. It will compliment the 3kg I purchased from them.

I have not had a single issue with my 3kg and I tried to find faults.
