    The Gene Cafe CBR-101 Coffee Roaster

    The Gene Cafe CBR-101 is renowned as an outstanding electric roaster that can hold around 250 grams of green coffee beans. It's perfect for both beginners and seasoned home roasters. With straightforward time and temperature controls and a fully transparent roasting chamber, you can dive into your first coffee roast with ease. As you gain experience, you'll be able to personalise your roasts and develop your own unique roast profile. The CBR-101 features a unique downward rotating swirl drum, ensuring an exceptionally even roast.

    Usage Tips:

    • It’s easy to accidentally roast your beans too dark, which can diminish the best flavors of the coffee and can be detrimental to fully automatic coffee machines.
    • Always stay close to the roaster during the process for fire safety reasons and to listen for the first and/or second crack.
    • Due to moisture loss during roasting, expect about a 20% reduction in weight from raw to roasted coffee beans.
    • Roast under an extractor hood or near an open window to minimize smoke.
    • Use 250 grams of green coffee beans per batch. Using less shortens the roasting time, while using more extends it. Keep this in mind to replicate roast profiles accurately.
    • Start at a temperature of around 235 degrees Celsius and experiment further on future roasts. For example, more experienced roasters might begin with the highest temperature and gradually lower it after the first crack is heard.
    • Quickly cool the beans after roasting by, for instance, shaking them back and forth in a sieve.
    • Clean the roaster by removing chaff after each session. Every 20 roasts, remove the fleece trap for cleaning in warm water and ensure it’s thoroughly dry before using again. Residual grease doesn’t typically affect roast quality, but in severe cases, clean it to prevent fire risks.
    • Allow at least 4 to 24 hours before using the roasted beans to brew coffee. The flavor is optimal between 3 to 5 days post-roast.
    • Explore our wide selection of unroasted coffee beans to experiment with.

    FAQ
    Customer Questions
    How do I find the right temperature and time for roasting with the Gene Café CBR101?
    We recommend starting with a temperature of around 235°C and adjusting it based on your taste preference and the type of bean you are using. The average roasting time is between 13 and 17 minutes per batch of 250 grams. Many users indicate that experimenting with temperature and time yields the best results. If desired, you can slightly lower the temperature after the first 'crack' for more control over the roast profile.
    How much noise does the Gene Café CBR101 make during roasting and does this affect hearing the 'crack'?
    The Gene Café CBR101 operates relatively quietly for a home roaster, but there is certainly some noise during use. Some customers indicate that it can sometimes be difficult to clearly hear the first and second 'crack'. We recommend roasting in a quiet environment and listening carefully, especially when setting up your first roast profile.
    Is it easy to clean the Gene Café CBR101 and how do I do it?
    Yes, the Gene Café CBR101 is easy to clean. After each roast, remove the leftover chaff from the roaster. Every 20 roasts, we recommend removing the chaff collector from the machine and cleaning it with warm water. Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before roasting again.
    Which types of green coffee beans are included in the starter pack?
    The starter pack contains 6 bags of 250 grams each of green coffee beans from different origins and varieties. We put together this selection so you can discover different taste sensations and learn what you like best. The exact selection may vary, allowing you to keep experimenting.
    How soon can I use the freshly roasted coffee after roasting?
    We recommend allowing the coffee to rest for at least 4 to 24 hours after roasting before using it for brewing. The flavour is at its best between day 3 and 5 after you have roasted the beans.
