Works brilliantly for us, though I have a strange craving for cheese these days
Well Cakey! How can you possibly say that something like this which is stainless steel and can be thrown in a dishwasher and cost £16 (well mine anyway)

Shame on you.
Oh, and Bruce the nice stainless steel one above does not require any stirring at all just tip the beans in and they are cold in less than 2 minutes with most of the chaff removed.

bruceb wrote:Well, it came today and I must say Mr. GreenBean (I first wrote Mr. Bean, but quickly changed it) does some fine work, and not just programming. The cooler is top grade, really professionally made. Karin couldn't believe it was home made, was sure it must have been bought that way, but I told her that nowadays you can't buy anything as well made as that.
A big thank you to GB for his generosity. First roast with turbo cooling on the weekend. I'll report then.
