EASY TO USE
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.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THOSE NEW TO COFFEE ROASTING
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 $600, 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 aficionados.
