Elgi Ultra Chocogrind Wet Grinder, 2kg Capacity, White

In less than 24 hours this machine produced creamy milk chocolate. I pre-ground the cacao nibs in a blender first for about 5 minutes to reduce the work load on the grinder. The machine was relatively quiet once the nibs were ground to a paste. The only issues I had was the machine shutdown 3 times during the process after about 15 hours, I'm assuming due to overheating which surprised me as the machine was only loaded with 1 kg of ingredients and operating in an air-conditioned room

I used this machine one time. When I disassembled it per the instructions to clean it, one of the parts was no longer glued down. Upon inquiring for some sort of replacement, I was told that I needed to buy a new wheel. Do NOT buy this product. It is not guaranteed that it will work even one time. This is a rip off!

I ordered this as a novice. The item I received was the rice grinder not wet grinder. I cancelled the order and tried to reorder, Luckily the store is near my home so I went there and got the proper one. The timer is only 99 minutes not hours, customer support is difficult to talk to.I made my first batch of 75% dark and followed the instructions in the video. I had to wake up a few times during the night to restart the machine, (it is quite enough to sleep).The chocolate was good but had an acidic back flavor. I then made my batch of Milk and after purchasing a gradiometer to test the viscosity it only took be 12 hours so no I am on my way to a successful venture. I think they should have a source to view more instructions for the beginners.

So I have waited on my evaluation of this product until I have used it many times as the second time I used it the cooling fan became loud and broke after trying to find a replacement which is impossible I opened it up regluded the fan and now use a fan on the outside and it works great. So know that the ability to get this repaired is not easy if not impossible but it does work well if you can keep it working.

Right out of the box, everything went right. Good thing because there isnt an owners manual. They did provide a guide for making the chocolate. So i cleaned it, let everything dry, tyrned it on, added nibs, 5 hrs later added a little sugar and the next morning had our first batch of chocolate semi-sweet. Very pleased. Just a note. Took two months to ship, out of stock.

This machine is very loud and annoying considering the time it has to be in use. The box came damage, and I don't know it that is the reason for the sound or if it is the way it is. It shakes to much the first 20 minutes. No indication whatsoever about how to clean it or for troubleshooting. There is a very small manual with extremely small letters, which is hard to read.

The media could not be loaded. Perfect for my wife’s chocolates bean to bar! She used 2 times in this month and she loved it! Now she is asking me for one more chocogrinder!!

Overheating need this to function properly
