FAQ: Purchasing Used Elite Roastery Equipment
Buyer FAQ
How do you vet the used coffee roasters and roastery equipment you accept into your Used Elite inventory?
At Coffee Equipment Pros, we utilize an in-depth video vetting process to protect and represent both sellers and buyers. Rest assured, we only work with fully functioning machines in excellent condition. Our video interview with the seller allows our thorough assessment and ensures machine current condition and functionality.
When you subscribe to our YouTube channel, you’ll have the opportunity as a buyer to take a virtual tour of the machine directly from the seller, knowing that it has met our rigorous vetting standards.

What is your warranty on your Used Elite roasters and roastery equipment?
Used Elite roasters and roastery equipment are sold as-is with no warranty. However, we vigorously vet each roaster and piece of equipment we list in our Used Elite collection to ensure it is in optimal working condition upon purchase.
You also have the option of adding a Tek-Pak to your purchase (eligible for financing) for additional virtual support from us.
Once a Used Elite equipment sale has transacted, what's involved in relocating the equipment?
Once the seller confirms full payment has been received, CEPros will schedule equipment prep and pick-up with the seller and the crating company or freight company.
CEPros requires crating companies to take photos of the equipment crating that are reviewed and approved by us before freight is scheduled.
Once the crating photos have been approved, CEPros notifies the buyer the equipment is ready to ship and confirms the delivery address and buyer's schedule.
All shipments are insured and include an appointment delivery time that works with your schedule.
What can I expect in the Used Elite sales process?
We keep you informed of status and the next steps during the entire process by phone, email, text.
The four main components of this process include: 1) signing of purchase and sale agreements, 2) confirmation of received payment, 3) equipment crating, freighting, and delivery (and notification to buyer each step of the way), and 4) follow-up with buyer to ensure safe delivery.
