My intent was to make chocolate for a batch of mole - from scratch, so I planned to make the chocolate by hand with a metate. However, I thought I'd throw my beans into my Blend-Tec (for those that don't know, it's a 3.5hp, ~$400 blender, competing with Vita-Mix for best-in class for home blenders), expecting due to my reading of this forum that it was unlikely to work.
It seems to have done just fine. Has anyone else had success with this? Is it just that my standards are too low? Or when people say a blender can't do that at Champion do, are they thinking of cheapy-blenders?

I haven't used the champion in any chocolate making activity in over a year. I heat the bin up and then just dump the nibs into it. If the spring isn't used in the cap, eventually the wheels will grind the nibs into a very nice liquor paste.

Forgive my ignorance, but Brad, you say you dump the nibs in... into what, if you're not using the champion? Into the Santha?

My apologies. I wasn't clear. I dump the nibs into the Santha.
