Finally, after waiting for Two months the Toper Cafemino Roaster (Electric) arrived at my house on January 18, 2007! YAY!
It actually landed in th port of Manila on December 30, 2006 but being a Saturday AND a holiday, not to mention that the following Monday was also a holiday, it took another week before it got to Davao. Then, I had to rush my wife to the hospital and I ran out of load on my cellphone and I forgot to bring the roaster documents with the custom broker's phone and... suffice to say that it took over a week to clear customs and arrange delivery.
The other day I finally had time to open it.
The crate is sturdy and a sudy in over-packaging, using what appears to be 1" MDF, bolted, nailed, and nailed again, atop a pallet. Afer unbolting the top cover's 8 bolts, I gingerly tried prying the top hoping it wasn't really nailed... and it wasn't. *Relief* The MDFs were nailed to a frame made of 50 mm x 50 mm wood. And there it was wrapped under bubble and plastic sheets and restrained by another 50 x 50 mm wood: the roaster. Er... at least I think it is what I ordered. Hard to tell under those plastic wrapping and I'm not tearing those until we find a place for the cafe.
Or maybe... I won't. Wait, that is.
