Driving in Oaxaca can be a real trip and, on a daily basis, I see things that make me think, daily meditations.... like this. My thoughts while following the ubiquitous Porta-potty... "Brakes don't fail me now" or "This is a perfect metaphor for so many things" or "This traffic stinks." or well, you get the idea. And check this out. I'm not sure what this piece of machinery is, but I think I need one.
It looks like it is some sort of a large capacity grinder, but I can't figure the upper part which looks like a roaster.
The full bags look like they might have cacao or coffee inside. Maybe chiles?
Well, what is it? "Anyone? Anyone?... Bueller?

That’s a coffee roaster. Here’s the modern equivalent: https://www.probatburns.com/commercial-coffee-equipment/coffee-roasters/
Assuming those sacks hold green beans, they typically weight 130-150 pounds each.
If you want to see a machine almost exactly like this while it roasts beans, visit Cafe Nuevo Mundo in El Centro.
Gracias! I thought it might be for coffee. Incidentally, the coffee from Oaxaca's coast is absolutely delicious, the best. I'm spoiled.
