With the Gene Café CBR101 coffee roaster, you can roast between 50 and 250 grams of green coffee beans at a time. We recommend using 200 grams each time for the most consistent result. Fewer beans will shorten the roasting time, while more beans will lengthen it – keep this in mind if you want to maintain a fixed roasting profile.

After each roast, we recommend removing the loose chaff from the roaster. Every 20 roasts, take out the chaff collector and clean it with warm water. Allow it to dry thoroughly before placing it back. Any greasiness usually does not affect the quality of the roast, but in case of severe contamination, cleaning is important for safety.

Yes, we recommend always using the coffee roaster under supervision. It is important to be present during roasting, both for safety reasons (fire hazard) and to hear crucial moments, such as the first and second ‘crack’ of your coffee beans. This way, you have full control over the roasting process and achieve the best result.
