You really can do a lot with a couple of 24 kg mol d' art melters for a small fraction of that.

Yes a ladle can be a bit messy. I’ve seen a pump I think at Design & Realisation but don’t have one.
I get the attraction of all the expensive toys, I’ve been lusting after a Selmi for years. But for me, and especially now, not being in debt is priceless. If you have other people’s money to spend that could change things.
Sooo, less than 6 months later and I'm here to eat my words 🤣
I'm back on the Selmi lust ... yes, I can do a lot by hand and the EZ temper helps but lately I've been making a ton of bonbons and thinking about how much time I spend maintaining the temper in the melter. Fill 4 or 5 molds, dump them back in, re-heat the chocolate from 88 to 90, repeat ... my production days could be so much more efficient.
Are they really as fast as they say they are? The Selmi Color EX claims to temper 12 kg in 7 minutes, seems like decent capacity and better on the budget but I'm wondering if in a few years I'll wish I'd gotten the 24 kg Plus EX.
