The article on the nut cracker is in the April/May issue of Hana Hou the Hawaiian airlines magazine.
His name is Bill Whalen and his macadamia nut machine is called the Star M 15.. The article says he has a mac nut plant in Hilo.
I tried to access his web site but it would not come up. The article said it was www.huimac.com.
It seems he oscillates the nuts at high frequency to blast the shells apart. I get the feeling the machine is expensive, but sounds like it could work on coffee too.
