Hi guys,
Picked up a Gene today, OK I bought it but mainly to evaluate not cos Im set on it at this point. First impressions were the size (larger than expected) and noise (quieter than expected based on numerous youtube videos which make it sound like a hairdryer). Its certainly got a pleasant and simple interface even if it does have a lot of plastic.
The first (and only) roast was with some supplied greens roasted at 228C for 19.5 minutes as recommended. What surprised me more than anything else was how this first roast presented. One reason I started looking at a proper product rather than just a corretto was to get a more even roast, and the Gene certainly didnt provide that. I had everything from tan Ben-Cousins-"Im going to court today"-shoes colour through to almost charcoal. Is this normal? Or was I supposed to stand on one leg while it was roasting or something?? :
