The new coffee bean toaster
Last May, we raised money to help the Los Altos de Ocotal cooperative of sustainable coffee farmers purchase a barrel and other materials to make a “tostador.” They encase the barrel in an oven and use the handle to continuously shift the beans inside as they toast evenly.
Before,they did it pan by pan over a kitchen fire.
It is up in the ranchon, where the community has a place for tourists to eat, with latrines and a lookout all over central Nicaragua.
See the entire photo album of its installation.
