Simplicity for the Novice... Total Control for the Advanced User

With a Gene Café coffee bean roaster, producing a fresh, great-tasting cup of coffee at home has never been easier. The ability to control the variables is key to producing the perfect roast, and the Gene Café has been engineered to give complete control over time and temperature– two important factors for achieving perfectly roasted beans. The Gene Café’s control panel is equipped with temperature and time controls capable of producing a full range of coffee styles, from a light American roast to a dark Italian roast that is ideal for espresso. The system’s large Pyrex® roasting chamber and clear safety cover allow users to check the progress of the entire half-pound batch– an advantage over many other roasters.

Gene Café’s Total Control system allows the user to make time and temperature adjustments on the fly without having to interrupt or re-start the roasting process. LED displays provide time and dynamic temperature information while audible tones alert the user to cycle changes. Newbies can follow the instruction manual’s simple time and temperature chart while experienced roasters will be pleased by how easy it is to fine-tune the process to personal tastes. Gene Café’s unique, patented off-axis roasting chamber and hot air convection system ensure even roasting regardless of the batch size. And because the flow-through convection system does not recirculate the hot air, Gene Café is exceptionally efficient at removing chaff, even from dry processed beans.

At a suggested retail price of $550, the Gene Café is the ideal home roaster for the serious coffee connoisseur regardless of roasting skill level, with features that will satisfy even the most experienced home coffee roasting afficionados.
