Posted Tue Dec 9, 2008, 12:00pm Subject: FS Hottop Coffee Bean Roaster -- SOLD
I have decided it it time to sell my original Hottop Ser Nr 300090 purchased in July 2003. I roasted 314 227-gram batches of beans over the next 3 years, 3 mo. At that point I replaced the heating element, bought a new front cover and a new drum with the added support at the back end of the drum. I used it to roast 38 more batches and then acquired a Hottop P which became my regular roaster and the original became my back-up roaster. The P has performed flawlessly as did the original. The roaster for sale has 38 batches on the new heating element. I just acquired a Hottop B and the P will become my back-up roaster. I do not need three Hottops.
The roaster for sale is the original model with the new heating element, new front cover and newer drum. Original manual and new filter are included. This model is upgradeable to use a P or a B circuit board and control panel -- see the Hottop web site.
I have no interest in misleading anyone. I have an offer that is not yet completed. If this does not resolve I will offer the machine to the next in line. Thanks for the positive response.
nice setup though! As a newbie i was wondering why you feel the need to have two, the older mod. as a backup? not judging or anything, honestly just curious.... Thanks!
Juanjo: It's always possible he also posted on local craigslists, or asked friends/ family, etc. As the seller, it's up to him on who gets it at this remarkable price.
as a seller meself is always nice to keep people interested in whatever you are selling updated. I haven't hear from him yet... if he sold it to someone else that's all Id like to know, so I keep on looking elsewhere.
