Looks like a lot of fun!

 

Does anyone know the model name of that stone grinder? I like that it have a "scraper" at both sides of the stone wheels. The one I have only got one.

 

Since no one else is jumping in to answer, it is a Premier:

You know because the one pictured is yours? :D 

 

I think Premier is like the main manufacturer or these, or the brand at least. I got one as well, but as I wrote it only got one "scraper".

They sell an upgrade stainless steel wheel/scraper holder on the website that has two scrapers so if it fits the model you have, that would be an easy way to get two scrapers if you want them without having to buy a different machine.

It's kinda like wrestling a gorilla... you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired.

Wow... that looks almost as good as that bagel I just ate. :hmmm: :P

Seriously though, looks incredible. Between that and those awesome looking baked goodies, I'd leave there with an extra 30 lbs. on me.

I don’t really eat chocolate.

Nor do I usually eat sweets.

I haven’t a clue about candy making nor tempering chocolate (although I understand it is hard to do.).

BUT, good Lord, you folks are amazing!

Hummmm, perhaps I am missing something.:/

You're missing the same thing all of us not there are missing. Good company, fun and good food... anything I learned would just be bonus material. :D

Bravani (sp?) the owner mentioned that the new units now are shipping with two scrapers.  One helps scrape, the other to help aerate.  The newer and the older are interchangeable on the same machine.

Bob,

Google tells me "BLB" can mean a Binary Large Object--or a Blue Letter Bible--or Bare Legged Beauties.

None of those seems to fit the photo. Clarification, please.

Jim....Google doesn’t know everything!  

Everyone wants to “Be Like Bernie” (BLB)

"Be Like Bob" - usually referring to sitting with a drink in hand! Happy, retired, drinking.
