Suggestions Please: Looking for a Manual Coffee Bean Mixer

[jwade20]

When I am having to blend 20-30lbs at a time, I am needing a mixer to blend it well. Like the look of a cement-style mixer, but I know it has to be food-grade. Just something simple -manual hand crank. Anyone have suggestions on what they use?

Te cheapest way would be with this but i think it is discontinued now:
Odjob® Concrete Mixer - Lee Valley Tools

Or this electric and bigger version with plastic drum:

Or you could buy just a plastic liner and built a frame and either turn it manually or with an additional low speed motor!

What did you choose in the end? I'm looking for a multipurpose blender, so that I can use it for coffee grinding and for smoothies as well. Do you have any suggestions?

You better buy a blender with a minimum of 600 watts if you plan to use it frequently. I'm also a huge fan of smoothies and homemade ice cream, and I'm using the ninja blender for these purposes. Besides, it works perfectly for grinding coffee beans. I'm simply in love with this device. I have never had a blender that works this well and can be cleaned so easily. If you wonder whether can ninja blender go in the dishwasher or not, then, the answer is yes! Only the blades should be washed separately. Anyway, the way it works is unbelievable.

I have been using Kushlan for the past 20 years. The product is top notch and customer service is polar opposite of roaster manufacturers! They are not cheap. I just replaced the one I have used for the past 10 years.
