Product Description
The Gene Cafe home drum coffee roaster is one of the most significant advances in home coffee roasting to ever hit the market. This special package includes the Gene Cafe Roaster and 8 pounds of Zaccardi's green gourmet arabica coffee beans. The Gene Cafe will roast a large batch of green coffee beans ? a half pound (8 oz) after roasting. Since you can lose up to 10 or 20 percent of the bean weight when roasting, this is a very welcome feat, making this one of the largest capacity home roasters in its class.

Although the controls are not digital, they allow full instant control which many prefer. Two knobs on the machine allow you to adjust both the time and the temperature independently. This roaster is perfect for both the novice and expert home roaster alike. You can set a time and temperature and l
