Ill be joining the ranks of Gene owners very soon
I thought you werent interested in roasting, preferring to leave it to the experts? Well welcome to the "Dark Side" (but definitely not more than CS11 ).
ha ha! Did I say that? :P Lets just say if there is some kind of bug it has certainly bitten me!

l see the gene cafe comes with an extra large chaff collector is that necessary or is the standard one fine?
It doesnt come with it - thats an extra. And no, its not necessary at all.
maybe the large one is if you just dont want to change it very often.

Theres plenty of room in the standard one Aaron and personally, i wouldnt want any chaf collector to get to a point where its loaded with the stuff!
Same goes for drip trays on coffee machines, though obviously less dangerous.
Take it for what its worth - maybe Im just obsessive about cleanliness.
I did have one professional roaster, who uses his Gene for his trial roasts, say that the large collector cooled the beans faster. Whether the 1 minute speed-up to 60°C is worth it, I dont know. I also dont know if the finding is general or not.
I do clean out the small collector after each roast.
