I have just purchased this roaster and the first three roasts have been great. in the UK Bella Bella. 240v with adapter plug in the box + 1 kg old brown java free gift , i also roasted monsoon / and Tunki. thumbs up so far Day 1.
I've just bought this machine and have tried roasing for two different occations. They have all been successful, but the first ones did become a bit too dark even for my taste.
Lesson learnt is that I have to start the cooling cycle when I approach the roast I want, not wait until the coffee looks good and then start the cooling cycle. In the end I did get some excellent french/vienna expresso roast though. Actually one of the best espressos I ever had. :) (I mixed some 50% Brazilian Arabica with an 35% Indonesian Robusta and 15% Old Aged Sumatra. They were all roasted into Vienna terrirtory.)
Hit the emergency STOP and you can remove the canester and dump the beans yourself to cool them quickly. Just remember to put the canister back on the machine right away and continue the cooling cycle from the machine itself so you don't overheat any components.
Hi.can you suggest me some good formula for blend espresso.
I used to roast with a popcorn machine as well. Eventually I tried a fresh roast from Whole Foods of beans from Costa Rica. I was amazed how much better my latte tasted made with the Costa Rican beans. The bottom line is that popcorn poppers roast the beans way to fast and the sugars in the beans can not developed as they would in an at least 14-minute long roast.

Just got this exact model. Thanks for the video! Helped me out a bunch. I feel a little more confident about getting started on my first batch tomorrow!
mELONHEAD1899 just curious if your still roasting on your gene cafe. How’s it going?
The roaster is available for Europe-220V. We are the US distributor, but I can certainly get you in touch with a European counterpart.
awesome presentation!!! great roaster.....need to get one soon!
Very multi-color results
Yes this coffee roaster is one of the best choice for home roasting in terms of price and low maintenance. I've made a mistake buying the aiillio roaster it needs a lot of maintenance and it has issues.
I appreciate your thoughts, but my experience has been vastly different! I own the Aillio bullet as well and absolutely adore mine. It is significantly more difficult to master, but it's batch size is 4x bigger and when you get the hang of it, you can roast coffee as good as the pros. But if easy and low maintenance is the goal, the Gene is an awesome roaster! It all comes down to the roaster's goals
I can't heard anything on first crack on my machine, but I'm seeing first crack with the chaff. Second crack is easier to hear. Can you hear first crack on yours? I couldnt hear it on this video.
I've wanted one for years, and Still want one.... Just can't afford it. Great presentation, thanks for reminding me how great of a machine it is. 👍
Beautiful beans, very evenly roasted with almost same color on each beans
Nice Video, but can i ask, how much time does the roaster takes? thank you for the viedeo and time
Cant wait to try my first roast
it is very convenient roasting machine for a sample .
if you put 230-250 gram, you will go slow roasting, 15-17 minutes, if you put under 170-200 gram, they will roast 12-13 minutes, fast roasting, that's how i find the different roasting speed. any other info how to control temperature after yellow ?, and after 1st crack? please share
Hi, sorry about the late reply! We've just released an updated Gene Cafe Guide, hope this helps answer any questions! ua-cam.com/video/wywchIApWNI/v-deo.html
I am considering purchasing this roaster but heard it is not easy to hear the first crack with this machine. Is this a problem and how do you determine when first crack occurs? Thanks!
Shall I know how much is this in Indian Rupees??
Thanks for the video! Considering buying one of these. Lots of good info. One complaint-music level is too loud at the first and end.
I wonder, how many grams in a scoop?
This demo is a bit outdated (We've got an updated guide for the Gene here: ua-cam.com/video/wywchIApWNI/v-deo.html) but we recommend loading 200 to 225g in the Gene!
Hello, sorry by my English, I want to know if this machine produce smoke, can I used inside a bar?
thank in avance
Hola, perdonar por mi Ingles, Yo quiero saber si esta maquina produce humo. ¿Puedo utilizarla dentro de un bar?
gracias de antemano
Ahora que han prohibido fumar, tu a llenarlo de humo
Es por joder
No esperaba menos de ti
Puedes darme algún contacto para comprar una maquina de esas?
Hi, is that machine available for Europe-220V ?
What is better, this one or the hottop 8828?
I like the Gene better for its simplicity, but the hottop has the advantage of the external cooling tray. The hottop is nearly double the price which makes it not worth it to me.
you can buy one of these direct from china on taobao or Alibaba for 250usd, these guys just get the factory to re brand it and add 100% profit they do no development for it. Better buying a quality machine.
In México, do you know where?
James cuntylocks I just looked on Alibaba, and can’t find it.
Interesting, since they’re made in South Korea.
Great job on the video....!
Good video, nice presentation.
how long to you wait to drink your coffee after its roasted? is it hours , days? does the flavor get stronger if you wait?
Good to wait 2-3 days to let the beans De-Gas after you roast them. They are releasing CO2 which does effect taste.
tiene una maquina de mayor capacidad? para tostar unos 12500 gramos
I'm seriously considering this machine. Is there any other machine at a more affordable price range which can give similar results regarding the consistency of the end product?
A cheap breadmaker and a heat gun does the same thing. You can add a dial thermometer or a thermocouple of you like. make a metal cover and cut a nozzle and exhaust holes. Check my videos and see what I made.
Back to Gene. This is a sweet machine. It does way more coffee than I can drink. I just can't afford it.
Gino Punsalan I agree. The amount I need I can roast in a wok in the garden. Would be nice to have something to automatically tumble it in the wok. :)

...Good video...don't need the music...Thanks
Is this meant to be used outside or a ventilated area?
it was used in indoor we make coffee roaster for home using too
Why the capacity is bigger if using wet processing coffee bean?
Dry processed beans produce more chaff which can clog the exhaust.
Thanks. Is chaff means something like the dust see in dry bean usually?
Or silver skin?
Silver skin. In wet processed coffees much of the silver skin is removed in processing so it does not end up in the roaster. Dry processing does not remove as much of the chaff. So you get more chaff in the roasting. Dry processing and wet processing produce different flavors.
Nice, pity they are over $1000 here in Aust. I grow my own beans and its slow work in the popcorn maker!
di brentley do you sell your beans in Australia? If so what’s your brand name?
@@SLVBULL no i dont sell them. But if I was to give them a name it would be Clear Mountain Dark Roast ( I generally burn them lol. ) Seriously it would be Clear Mountain Organic Coffee Blue.
@@SLVBULL Do you want some ?
we sell them for 865 very good value
@@greenbeanroasters6507 thanks for that, can you tell me if its possible to dry beans in it as well ?
Parece que 300 gramos máximos de éste. Yo sólo veo un producto en su sitio.
what's a good place to purchase green unroasted coffee beans for $2 to $3 a lb?
A coffee farmer.
I can supply u Ethiopian Coffee
I need some ..
i want buy it??? please help me.

@@coffeeroastervideo1423 hi
waw bali , im from indonesian 🇮🇩
Aku wong jowo 😁
Judging by that chaff collector that really looks like a poor design unfortunately, especially if you cant roast a lb at a time that is a whole lot of electricity energy wasted for say half a lb, it's really not evem worth it, these machines due in excess of usually kver 1000watts,if they increased tge roasting capacity & better chaff collection this would be a nice machine
hmmm...a 20 minute roast is too long. the beans are "cooking" instead of roasting. have you ever had a roast that stalled when using a 460˚ setting?
If he enjoys the coffee produced at these settings, is it "too long" or "wrong" to roast them for 20 minutes?
Some people enjoy burnt coffee... some enjoy under roasted coffee which are painfully floral and acidic. They do what they enjoy, not what is "just nice" according to certain guidelines.
Unless you had a temp + time graph, you wouldn't be able to tell if the roast stalled... Stalling is when the coffee stops increasing in temperature or when the temp starts decreasing. You can totally roast for 20 minutes without stalling, granted it's longer than I would personally go in a drum (between 12 and 14 minutes).
Pueden informar cuanto cuesta?
And finally use a plastic cup, ha ha.
Too slow
The audio is terrible ewww
They crack to release heat energy? You mean expanding steam plus weakened shell causes the beans to crack. Lol wat. I think I'll go elsewhere.
Nice video - well done! I have been using the roaster for about 5 years now with no problems ad good roasts every time.
Nice video. Kind of a newbe to the Gene Cafe. My first roast was very good. My second will be done tomorrow. Your video helped, thanks.
Thanks for the video. This is the machine I will upgrade to when I have the money saved up.
so simple, but pulled me through the whole video. Even down to the bit at the end for holding the lid open. Good vid mate.
Mark... Scotland UK.
Great video!!! Thank you! The directions that came with it are not fabulous.
Thanks a lot for this informative video. I'm impressed with this machine. I've been home roasting in a 20 dollar popcorn machine for some years. Main three issues are of course known: ambient temperature determines roasting success, control is limited as first and second crack follow each other very rapidly, and roasts are uneven. Gene Cafe seems to take these drawbacks away. It looks icnredibly well built and
I like the batch size. Very nice!
Coffee looks great. 👍
How reliable of this machine? Does it breakdown so far for the past years?
Do you do back to back roasting?
The Gene is a very reliable roaster! The manufacturer is also very responsive should an issue arise. All appliances will eventually wear down over time, the most common part of the Gene wearing out being the heating element, though that should take you several years even with very heavy roasting. The manufacturer sells a replacement element that is relatively easy to swap out in that case.
You can certainly do back to back with the Gene! You will need about 5 minutes of down time between roasts to fully cool the beans manually if you choose to do this as well as heat resistant gloves to empty the chaff collector and remove the beans from the roaster for manual cooling. Be careful as those parts will be very hot!
@@TheCaptainsCoffee wow! This is a great machine to be considered. Thanks for the tips!
Hi, I am from Colombia, Please can I translate it into Spanish? or tell me, how can I access the purchase? and know the value of the product? thank you
Hi! Unfortunately we do not ship internationally. You can try reaching out to the US distributor, they might know if there is a distributor for South America: genecafeusa.com/pages/contact
Where does the smoke goes?
Please show chaff collection
can anyone tell me what microphone/amp to use. He makes reference to a "anchor portable amp" could not find, nor know what else would work.
Nice machine, but not very evenly roasted, lots of different colors, is this normal?
Top.. fantastic machine Roasting..👍☕
I need one like this .. how much
I just received this machine and the manual forewarns about possible ways of fire erupting, the most dangerous being simply if the electricity goes out the beans could catch fire. My apartment doesn't have stable electricity, the breaker trips too easily and it's not worth the risk so I'm returning it. Forums speak of chaff catching fire, of two year old Gene machines catching fire. I don't think having one of these is worth the risk of burning down one's house. The machines look too innocent you would never think of how easy a fire could happen. I bet very few read the details just like every other product we presume its safe to use.
Machines are very dangerous. Some machines can mangle you or even vaporize you, while others can impale or disfigure or choke you. I once read about a machine that mulched a fellow. I had a friend who had a machine which mowed a couple toes off from his foot. One guy I know lost an eye to a machine which shot a paint ball right into his eyeball! I see that maybe your apartment also is hell bent on killing you with all that faulty wiring, but I'd say maybe the hair trigger breaker is especially dangerous. I'd probably not be able to sleep in that place, but would gather my things and very cautiously back away from it.
I've been a home roaster for about 20 years, mostly using what some consider the best home (near-professional) roaster, the Hot-top. Great roaster, though quite expensive. Last year I was roasting a smaller than normal batch in my garage. Toward the end of the roast, the temperature climbed suddenly to my set point of 420ºF and the beans were black. My fault for trying a small quantity and not realizing the roast was going too fast. Upon hitting the limit, the beans ejected to cool and as soon as they mixed with air, they instantly caught fire. Think about the move Backdraft. Within seconds, the roaster was completely engulfed as the plastic shell, already hot, caught fire. I had to unplug it and carefully lift the flaming mass off my wooden workbench and quickly and carefully bring it out to the driveway where I threw it. Lessons learned: keep a fire extinguisher handy, don't roast short batches, always watch the roast and never turn your eyes away.
Yikes. That sounded horrifying.
Buenos dias por favor el precio y numero de contacto la quiero para Colombia.
I recommend against buying this coffee roaster. Mine burnt out after about a year and it's just the wife and I so it wasn't overused. It still turned on and spun but no heat so I assume the heating element burnt out.
I've had my Gene Cafe for about 5 years with no problems. I do 2 to 3 roasts per week and has been totally reliable. But you can get parts at genecafeusa.com
Bali Kintamani ...
how much does this roaster cost my friend?
Vinay Kumar 600$ on amazon, but you can find for cheaper if you search for it. Not many used ones though since most people who bought one are still using it.
halneufmille Thanks
you can get almost same in ebay - a chinease one will come for ~60 to 80$. this will be roaste on a kitchen gas/LPG/ or Natural gas .

Nice video
You can’t even do a pound of coffee??
Great video! What are the blue bowl type things called that you use to pour the beans into?
Kings Wild Project It's called a sampling tray
How much is it
I am confused as to what you said at 8:17. You say the roaster is very quiet, and then say it is hard to hear the first crack. If the roaster is quiet, you would be able to hear the crack better, because the sound of the roaster would not be competing with the sound of the bean crack. In fact, on SM videos, they say the downside to the Gene Cafe is that the roaster is 'loud' and it is hard to hear the crack because of that. I roast exclusively by sound, and that is the reason I stayed away from this unit. Please explain.
I had the same thought, but then interpreted that comment to mean that sound is well-contained within the tumbler. This would include the crack sound.
@@Vakubli That makes senses, and is probably what they meant. But, since the insulating of the machine sound also insulates the crack sound, it is still a deterrent for me. I am sure it is a hard puzzle to solve, allowing the sound of the bean crack, but muting the machine's inherent mechanical noise. I would love to 'rent' one and see if it is that bad or not, and if not, then I would purchase. I am keeping my ears to the ground. The unit looks like a good roaster though.
@@birage9885 I have seen the use of a cheap sound amplifier with the receiver placed next to the tumbler and the speaker a few feet away. A bit wonky, but it seemed to work well.
@@Vakubli HHmmmm, creative thinking. I suppose that would work, but yes, s bit wonky !
Good luck, Amanda! Congrats on the new gear.
Thanks so much for the video demonstration. I just got the roaster and was looking for just the thing before I try my first batch!
do you have email address? I can recommend a home using coffee roaster to you
@@samdyzhang2265 I already have the Gene Cafe and I'm happy with it.
well done & informative... thank you!
do you attach this to a gas line or just outlet?
bartenderzzz outlet. It’s an electric roaster
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
put the background audio on silent when you're discussing the machines level of noise. All I could hear was a guitar riff and a whirr
320 and 460 F or C ?
I think it is in F.
Thank you sir, thanks for sharing too
For those wanting to dip their toes into coffee roasting, just get a Severin popcorn maker. Less than £20 from Amazon and gives fantastic results.
Its a korean made. No good.
Talk too much
How is this compare to the Behmor?
# TBC my research showed that it is a better machine in that you have total control of your roasting profile. Plus you don’t need to cool down the unit if you pull your beans hot and cool them manually.
