For grinding cacao beans into cacao mass, we cannot recommend the Champion 2000 highly enough. Nothing else on the market works as well. Other juicers will start to liquefy the cacao but lack the power to finish the job — leaving you with what people describe as "ropes." No other juicer filters out trace amounts of husk as reliably either.

It also does double duty: with the lower screen removed, the Champion cracks your beans before winnowing. That makes it the centerpiece of most small-batch setups — crack with the Champion, winnow with the Sylph Cacao Winnower or Flux Commercial Cacao Winnower, then grind with the Champion again. One machine, two critical jobs.

If you're running higher volumes or want more consistent cracking without babysitting the feed, the Deluxe Cacao Cracker for Champion Juicer replaces the standard cutter head and dramatically improves throughput and blade life. It's optional, but most people who use their Champion hard every day end up there.

Motor only or with attachments?

If you already own a Champion — even a partially working one with the body and guard intact — the motor only option is probably what you need. The motor is the part that wears out.

If you're starting from scratch, go with the motor and attachments. That gets you the body and guard/screen holder, which are the structural pieces you need to run it. What it doesn't include are the consumable parts: spout/funnel, screens, cutters, and tamper. Those are available directly from Champion while supplies last — order them alongside this unit so you're set up and ready to go.

About these units

Champion has discontinued the 2000, so new units are no longer available. We source used 120V units and verify each one is in working order before it ships. We can't supply spare parts directly, so Champion is your source for those. We'll ship worldwide, though keep in mind we can only offer 120V models — if you're outside the US, you'll need a step-down transformer.
