Andy Ciordia replied to corinne mendelson's discussion temperer"Edward it sounds like they do it by hand now, they're looking to gain some efficiency and you can't grow effectively by continuing to do a hand temper. While you can enjoy the extra labor of tempering by hand, if you are small shop…"

Tempering is essential, and it should be mastered. It…"

Michael Arnovitz replied to corinne mendelson's discussion tea and chocolate"The thing about tea is that the flavor characteristics we tend to like (essential oils, etc) come out first during an infusion. The things we tend not to like (tannins, etc) come out later. Tannins typically result in a "bitter" or…"
Daniel Herskovic replied to corinne mendelson's discussion tea and chocolate"I think the idea of cold infusion is an excellent idea.

Thank you Corinne for the reply. I only have a 3kg Mol d'Art melter and seriously considering to get either a 6kg melter or a Pavoni Minitemper. I might be inclined to get a bigger melter as it's easy to do moulding and cost-efficient. I just dislike constant stirring..
As far as what you've mentioned about business scale. I believe eventually it will be like running a small factory. I consider myself as a mobile factory as I do everything by myself. Anyway, I started the biz a while ago and now try to get the good marketing strategy to expand the business. There's always something new everyday.
