This is my first coffee roaster, but the Gene Cafe Coffee Roaster is an excellent air roaster that has given me consistent results. It is so easy to use. I spent about 3 months doing all kinds of research on coffee roasters. For someone who never roasted before, this is the easiest roaster on the market. I saw a video on Google Video at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-21754440054705737 and I thought it was really neat at how easy it worked. One neat thing about it is the roasting viewing chamber, you are able to see the bean color and roast level through the entire roast without problems. The Gene Cafe is different in that the amount of air pushing through the roast chamber is only for heat; not to actually agitate the beans like so many of the other hot air roasters I did my research on. The Gene Cafe has a cool auger and flap system. This makes sure that the beans are always in motion, which will prevent scorching. You will find the Gene Roaster is very quiet. You can be...

| Several months ago I ordered and received the Gene Coffee Roaster. I have had three roasters before this and each one was short lived and had problems while I had it. This Gene Roaster is the a winner. I am really impressed by how clean it stays roast after roast. It is straight forward, easy to operate and well built. I do have to watch it closely during the final couple of minutes. It is easy to get the roast too dark if you do not anticipate the shade of the bean by pressing the cooling button a little before you reach the roast you are looking for because it continues to cook for a minute or two after you push the cooling button. I gladly recommend this roaster, it's great! | 3 | ||

| For a start, I should mention that I am a female user of the device, if this was a washing machine that failed as often as this has, all the male users who fiddle and faff and adjust their incoming electrical current and talk about firmware and replace the heating elements etc would have had heart failure due to apoplexy had this been a washing machine that failed. I have a roaster from 2007, I think it is stamped Feb, that has had 3 replacement heating elements that have never lasted a whole yr. The chappy in park city has sent us the replacement bits at no financial cost, luckily my DH is a handy dandy engineer who can swap the new one in with no dramas, yet even now, the third heating element is failing and my highest roast temp is 375 on a good day with the wind in the right direction, other coffee sites have these failing after a year and customers seem to think this is acceptable? I do not get it, this is a 500 buck item, when my $150 roaster died after 2 yrs, well, c'est... | 4 | ||
