Notes to be Aware of:

Generally ships in 1 week, however expect up to 2 weeks for delivery as supply levels sometimes vary.
Note, that while you can physically put more coffee into this cooler, it has been tested with 10LB. You can attempt to cool more but cooling times will increase which could result in a less than ideal flavor profile due to extended cooling times.
Please expect 7-10 business days to ship as these coolers are custom built upon order.

Buying Advice: There are many methods to cool your beans, but this cooler should be used if you are looking for a clean, easy and attractive way to cool your beans. Looks professional, built to last and works really well at cooling your beans after the roast, while separating chaff and collecting it in a separate tray. Note that due to its motorized cooling vanes, this cooler cools and removes chaff automatically and significantly better than the basic version, allowing you to attend to the next roast without bothering with stirring.
