Gene Cafe CBR-101 (Black)
$ 650.00
The Gene Cafe CBR-101 has established itself as an excellent roaster capable of producing about half a pound of uniformly roasted coffee (250g). It uses a unique vortex twisting, off-axis chamber rotation which assures complete distribution of the green coffee during roasting. This motion is one of the main reasons for the roasted coffee's uniform color.

I’ve had a Gene cafe since 2010 and have loved it. Minimal problems with it. I’ve always used it outdoors year round, set the temp and time,then come back a couple minutes before to stop at the finished roast I want. I find my new one with the need to constantly stand by it to avoid it shutting off when it reaches certain temperatures a real pain. I have second thoughts about getting another one in the future.
Excelent machine!
My first roaster and I am happy with my purchase 5 months ago; only one problem has been rumored and I agree that the all important first crack cannot be heard unless you don’t run a loud vent like most of us home roasters; otherwise again as rumored this design has many advantages such as good batch size for home roasters, relatively even roasts if using quality beans, nice ventilation hole, good price point etc ; bear in mind that the vent hole lets out MOST of the smoke (but not all of the smoke) which you can redirect further using DIY home depot project attaching a pipe/duct etc Meaning that the machine lets out smoke from more than just the main vent hole ! so placing the machine under your stove hood is one method to keep all the smoke out. GeneCafe roaster and a color meter are a wicked combination to get you drinking much better tasting coffee in no time.
Best home coffee roaster I have ever tried!
