A practical guide to scaling chocolate equipment without guessing. Learn when Behmor + Sylph is enough, when Yoshan + Flux makes sense, and how weekly output, labor, and bottlenecks shape the right upgrade path.
Chocolate making isn’t nearly as hard as people think. Crack your beans, blow off most of the husk, and let a melanger turn warm nibs, cocoa butter, and sugar into something silky. That’s it. The rest is just noise. Keep it simple and you’ll make better chocolate than you ever thought possible.
Hallelujah — cocoa butter is back at $10/lb. Plus an Ivory Coast supply update, a reformulated Code Delta, and what's coming.
