Genecafe Coffee Roaster 230V

The innovative Coffee Bean Roaster - Gene Cafe Coffee Roaster is designed as a household or commercial coffee roaster and incorporates the technology has acquired home and overseas patents.

Genesis technology simplifies roasting procedure, which was very complicated and required great efforts. Now you can simply make deep, rich coffee full of flavour.

Externally the Gene Cafe machine has a high tech look about is and a black finish that will look good for a long time. The materials used are all high quality steel, Pyrex, Aluminium and glass reinforced high temperature plastics. The build quality of the cafe gene feels good and it looks well designed and put together. The machine is pretty quiet in operation, about as noisy as a dishwasher or fridge. Cooling is done within the roasting chamber by forced hot air. The whole chamber is then simply lifted out to empty the beans. Once you have done this, the Gene Café is ready to roast again. Using the quick cool down cycle you can roast a 250-300g batch of green beans every 22-25 minutes, about 700g per hour, enough for even the heaviest coffee drinkers. The controls are clear, simple but very effective and give a lot of control over the roasting process. The Gene Café roasts are even and full of flavour, and are at least the equal of those done by other competitors in the home roasting market Clean up is very easy using a simple brush and detergent on the roasting chamber and chaff collector after each roasting session and only takes a few minutes. Spares are available from Bella Barista, an Authorised UK Distributor of the Gene Café home roaster

Some basic roasting hints, tips and videos

Resource: Coffee Time Wiki Dot

A very basic starter roast in the Gene Cafe roaster is shown below, I was going for a Medium roast (a slightly darkish medium). The initial 250C temperature was purely set for convenience and I was not intending to let the temperature rise above 238 during the roast. I actually trimmed back the temperature from the 238C it did achieve, after about a minute or so of 1st crack. This is to prevent scorching, as the thermal gradient in the roasting chamber becomes quite steep and the beans after the expansion of 1st crack absorb much more of the heat entering the roasting chamber (and less passes out the exhaust). So in reality the bean temperature probably plateaus and doesn't drop, even though the temperature is reduced…..Think of it as reducing the thermal energy input to the roast, rather than temperature.

The ambient temperature was 11C and the mains voltage about 230V-235V variable.

 

This video (you may need to click the play button twice) is to show you how simple and easy a Gene Cafe roast is and hopefully encourage you to start home roasting. The subtitles all the way through the video explain what's going on during the roast. further information can be obtained by exploring this Wiki.

Yes you do get some smoke (this is unavoidable with any roaster), a simple solution is to roast outside in the garage or shed, or under a very good extractor hood. An even better solution is to buy the large chaff collector (about £30) which can take a vent hose, and simply vent any smoke out of a window. A quick look at one of our forum posts will show what people think of it.
