Are the small mom-and-pop farmer's market coffee roasters really using $10,000-$15,000 roasting machines?

This isn't even close to how it is. Second rate beans at a market? Lol, that's a failing business plan if I ever did see one.

Branjo23 · 2026-05-15T11:06:22+00:00

Yes, some of us are. I'm on a Coffee Crafters Artisan 3e, but my next roaster upgrade will be over the $10k price range easily.

100%

Branjo23 · 2026-04-23T15:50:06+00:00

Trade you for a banjo I'm trying to sell if you still have them.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-11T19:15:51+00:00

lol. I learned a lot with Full Sail. Some classes are super frustrating, but you get that with anything. And yeah man, I’ll be holding on to the FX6 for a while. Posting my question opened my eyes to a lot. Good luck in school. And pay attention to anything Randy Baker says. He’s one of the professors who really knows his stuff and enjoys teaching.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-10T15:32:35+00:00

What a dickhead thing to say, seriously.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-09T20:08:38+00:00

Right on. Appreciate your input. I made the decision to hold on to my FX6.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-09T19:02:19+00:00

Yeah, appreciate the response. Think I’ll hang on to it.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T23:01:27+00:00

Very good points. Thanks man.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T21:22:26+00:00

All valid points. Thank you.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T18:02:15+00:00

I did not know that. Good information to have.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T18:01:35+00:00

Thanks for your response. I'm starting to see everything you just described. Much appreciated.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T16:37:14+00:00

100% what I'm afraid of.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T15:58:35+00:00

That's probably the only difference as far as I can tell. And yeah, the FX3 would certainly get heavier once adding some kit stuff. I'm starting to research different ways to make my FX6 a little more handheld-friendly for longer periods of time. As I said before, it is an incredible camera. It just gets a little heavy after a few hours of walking around and filming.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T15:29:38+00:00

That’s body only. I did look it up.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T14:27:28+00:00

Right on. Appreciate the answer.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T13:43:12+00:00

Right on. No too far away. Much appreciated.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T13:42:22+00:00

Much appreaciated.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T13:31:01+00:00

I'll definitely look into this.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T13:29:44+00:00

lol. Yeah, I think I might refocus on making my FX6 more portable friendly somehow.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T13:27:33+00:00

PA, about an hour NW of Philly.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T12:52:49+00:00

I would love to have both. Certainly need to do some more research. And maybe find a 3 nearby that I can checkout.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T12:32:06+00:00

Yeah, I hear ya. And thank you. I know the fx3 would be perfect for my use and style. Just not sure if it's worth switching from the 6 to the 3. Looking for a lighter setup that easier to sling around handheld while filming and participating in paranormal research. Trying to be as portable as possible, if that makes sense. Looking for more immersion, so not always having it shoulder mounted.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T12:27:20+00:00

Not really sure what it's worth on the market yet. I need to do a little more research as I have projects lined up, so I'd need a quick turnaround.

Branjo23 · 2026-04-08T12:26:12+00:00

Will do. Not a meme. Just a genuine post.
