Roasting does not stop when the drum does. The beans are still hot and go on cooking each other until that heat is pulled away, which is what this coffee bean cooler is for. A high-volume motor at 3000 rpm draws air through a batch of up to 500 g and takes it down to room temperature fast enough to fix the roast where you wanted it.

Details

Why a roast has to be cooled

Take beans out of a roaster and they carry on developing. They hold a lot of heat, they radiate it into each other, and the roast you carefully aimed at drifts past the point you wanted. Getting them down to room temperature quickly is what stops that drift. From there the beans want three to four days to rest and degas before the flavour settles and they are worth grinding.

How this one works

A high-air-volume motor running at 3000 rpm pulls air up through the bed of beans instead of simply blowing over the top of it, so the heat leaves from the middle of the batch as well as the edges. The chamber holds 500 g at most; for the quickest cooling the maker suggests loading 400 g, which keeps the bed shallow enough for air to move freely through it. Two meshes are supplied, a coarse steel one and a fine one, so you can match the screen to the bean size and keep the chaff where it belongs.

The housing is built to keep the fan noise down, which matters for a machine that spends its working life at full speed on a kitchen worktop. It pairs with a home roaster such as the Gene Café CBR 101.

FAQ

Customer Questions

How many coffee beans fit in this 500 gram coffee bean cooler?

The maximum capacity is 500 grams. For faster cooling we recommend filling the cooler with around 400 grams of beans.

If you roast larger batches, cool the beans in two goes. An overfilled cooler has its heat blown away less quickly.

What is the difference between this 500 gram coffee bean cooler and the Gene Cafe CBC101 cooler?

This cooler is an unbranded model, the CBC101 is the cooler from the Gene Cafe brand. In practice they do the same job: both cool up to 500 grams of roasted beans, with around 400 grams as the recommended load.

Our customer service describes this 500 gram cooler as the more basic of the two.

Why do you need to cool coffee beans after roasting?

After roasting there is a lot of heat in the beans. If you do not cool them down to room temperature quickly, the roasting process simply carries on through the radiant heat between the beans and they become darker than intended.

This cooler blows the heat out quickly with a motor running at 3000 revolutions per minute, so you keep the roast profile you had in mind.

What is supplied with this coffee bean cooler and what are the specifications?

On delivery you get the cooler, a steel mesh, a fine mesh and a manual.

The cooler runs on 230V (50/60 Hz) and uses 45 watts. The diameter is 205 mm and the height 250 mm. The design is low noise, so the cooling is not disturbingly loud.

How long do freshly roasted coffee beans need to rest after cooling?

Freshly roasted coffee beans need to rest for 3 to 4 days after cooling. Only after that can the full flavours develop.

During that period, store the beans cool, dark and well sealed. Use a bag or tin that lets the released gases escape, because freshly roasted coffee continues to degas.
