I am also offering an identical discount to buyers down Talk Coffee way $720 + shipping if required until the end of Feb.

Im roasting and taking many pix as I write this...photo essay to come very soon! I am thrilled with the results my unit is producing and the flexibility. I think the outcome may be more even than that of the hottop and the tweakability is teriffic! I have pushed my unit to 350g and still got great results.

Alrighty- here we go...

I measured 300 g of PNG A (supplied by Andy of course  8-))


Loading the drum


Close the top and youre ready to load


Gene Cafe loaded


Close the lid


Set the time and temp. using the rotary knobs- Infinite control over profile  8-)


Ready to roll!


Circa 8 minutes


Circa 1st crack- about 15 min


Circa beginning of 2nd crack- a couple of minutes later


End product on removal of drum


And emptied out- note zero chaff!


and weighed...for just over 15% loss


Cya later chaff

No worries MZ....alternately, why not buy 2 Gene Cafes and pocket the change for a nice dinner! [smiley=evil.gif]

Re: Gene Cafe Roaster in Australia

Good point, it might come down to that !

Just for a matter of interest, Is the PNG A a wet processed or a dry , In your opinion how would the Gene Cafes chaff collector cope with 300 grams of dry processed beans !

It was a wet coffee MZ. The chaff collected may have been 1/100th of total capacity and the chaff collector on the Gene is enormous in comparison to the Hottop...In conclusion, no problemo!

Re: Gene Cafe Roaster in Australia

Do you have to wait long between roasts?

Re: Gene Cafe Roaster in Australia

Hey Grendel,

It cools for perhaps 10 min after the roast- at which point you can go again immediately...

Re: Gene Cafe Roaster in Australia

If you look at the pic, Gene Cafe loaded, it shows a recommended level for dry processed, so going by your 300 gram level , the recommended level for dry would be about 150 gram, a big difference, I tend to favor dry beans myself . Maybe if other Gene Cafe owners would like to comment on how the the Gene copes with 300 grams of dry..

Re: Gene Cafe Roaster in Australia

MZ- by "dry" they mean green....300g of anything is a doddle for this machine. Have a look at the size of the chaff collector- shown left relative to the size of the drum. A hottop will do 300g dry hulled beans and it has a simple tray less than 1cm deep as a chaff collector

Re: Gene Cafe Roaster in Australia

Chris this is a fantastic job, well done.

For MC I will roast tomorow a 300 Gr dry coffee.

Re: Gene Cafe Roaster in Australia

Going by that pic again, If by dry means green, well your 300 gram demo, is really a walk in the park for the Gene .. Im almost tempted to say thats impressive !!, but I would like another opinion from a third party other than you or Serge, no disrespect intended... :-X

No probs MZ- Ill do naked cartwheels for you if it doesnt. Id do a batch of Ismaili or Matari now to prove the point but I went a tad silly...I have over a 2 kilos of experimental blends (which incidently have lots of pulped and dry hulled bean in them) degassing :-[

Come up to First Pour tomorrow morn, meet some CSers grabbing some beans and lets prove it live

Re: Gene Cafe Roaster in Australia

Thanks for the offer, but I have to go and earn some folding stuff tomorrow and by the way, Im a bit camera shy when it comes to, a barista, doing naked cartwheels !!!. :-X
