The 100% Chef Premier chocolate conche and refiner is a tabletop melanger with natural granite rollers that refines particles below 20 microns and runs for up to 72 hours at a time with its sealed 200 W motor. With a 3.5 kg capacity, it's ideal for artisan workshops, pastry shops and chocolate makers looking for a silky texture and professional conching without a big investment.
Description
The Premier conche is one of the most recognised tabletop melangers among chocolatiers, pastry chefs and artisan producers around the world. Its compact design and low-impact motor allow chocolate to be conched and refined at low temperature, preserving the cocoa's aromatic nuances and the nutritional value of the ingredients. It's the ideal tool for making bean-to-bar chocolate, pralinés, gianduja and nut butters with an ultra-silky texture.
The Premier is designed for professionals who need to run small or medium batches with large-workshop quality: local pastry shops, cookery and chocolate schools, artisan bean-to-bar workshops, praliné and nut-cream producers, and R&D kitchens where chocolate recipes are tested before scaling up. Its tabletop size makes it easy to install in any workshop and its motor is designed for a demanding working day without overheating.
The secret to professional conching is time: depending on the recipe and the level of refining desired, cycles usually range between 12 and 72 hours. For couverture chocolate we recommend long cycles at low speed to finish removing the cocoa's acidity and achieve a fully silky texture. For nut butters (hazelnut, almond, pistachio) shorter cycles are enough. The motor's continuous-work capacity means you can start conching at the end of the day and collect the finished paste the next morning.
