This tasting pack contains various strengths, from the mild Café Crema to the powerful Espresso. If you do not like very strong coffee, we recommend starting with the Café Crema or El Autentico; both are full of flavour, but less intense than, for example, the Espresso or Gusto Italiano.

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.

We recommend fully submerging the filter in water for 10 minutes before use. This allows the filter to become saturated and prevents unnecessary air from entering the water supply hose and pump of your espresso machine. Once saturated, simply connect the filter to the water supply hose in the water reservoir of your espresso machine.

Yes, these coffee beans are suitable for all common coffee machines, such as fully automatic machines, semi-automatic machines, and piston machines. The variety in the tasting pack makes it possible to prepare espresso, cappuccino, regular coffee, as well as, for example, ristretto. The flavour and intensity differ per blend, allowing you to discover for yourself which blend appeals to you most for each type of coffee.

Yes, the Gene Café CBR101 is easy to clean. After each roast, remove the remaining 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.

Yes, this milk cleaner has been specially developed to effectively remove stubborn milk residues, deposits and bacteria from cappuccino systems, milk tubes and other components through which milk flows. Customers indicate that the milk tube also becomes thoroughly clean again and that this cleaner can be more powerful than some original products.

Customers indicate that the crema with these beans is present, but that it comes into its own better with espresso than with regular coffee. The crema is described as sufficient, but not perfect.

The use of this filter ensures that limescale is filtered out of the water, which prolongs the lifespan of your espresso machine and means you need to descale less frequently. Many customers also find that their coffee tastes smoother and that the filter takes up little space in the water tank.

The Bai Mudan white tea from Oothu (Southwest India) has a light liquor with a mild, sweetish flavour and gentle bitters. Most of our customers experience the taste as soft and pure, although this tea may contain slightly more bitterness compared to other white teas due to the minimalist processing and the high proportion of young leaf buds.
