Peter, an Australian coffee farmer on Maui Island, took over the 12-kilogram PROBAT from his grandfather when he was a child. There are no parts to replace the old machine, but Peter still keeps it running today.

When Peter first moved to Maui, he took the 1933 12-kilogram PROBAT bean baking machine left to him by his grandfather. He originally wanted to revive the young bean baker and make a living in Maui baking KONA Coffee.

The picture is a picture of last season's harvest of Maui's Peter. This morning, he sent me a handful of Typica and many other kinds of beans, and there are many other islands in Hawaii that are rich in coffee beans, such as Cafu Island, lovely Island and Maui Island! Oh, looking forward to this batch of Jiaoke! )

The story of me and Peter starts from here, people are really wonderful, as long as you open your mind, you will meet open-minded friends! I'm going to introduce this interesting farmer roaster to coffee lovers in Taiwan. It should be an interesting activity!

The memory of Peter and the Old Probat Bean Dryer in 1933

When Peter first moved to Maui, he took the 1933 12-kilogram PROBAT bean baking machine left to him by his grandfather. He originally wanted to revive the young bean baker and make a living in Maui baking KONA Coffee.

As everyone knows, Hawaii is really a place that is only suitable for farming and play, but not suitable for business (maybe even Oahu). His 12-kilogram old bone can't get a local environmental license at all. Even the 3Kg San Francisco currently in use has wandered along the red line of local environmental regulations.

Because of this, he finally settled down on this beautiful island and officially changed from a bean baker to a coffee farmer in Maui!

(the attached picture is the 1960s PROBAT LP12 found on the Internet. I believe it is much younger than the Peter one. If we have a chance to see the 1933 old bones that have been torn apart, let's share its "beauty of parts".)

As for this antique, which had been disassembled and disassembled more than 10 times since childhood, it had to be completely disassembled and packed by him again and stored in the warehouse of LA! I should not be interested in this machine at all, because it is the most basic Drum Roaster with no extra functions, which is no joke. )
