Where to buy
The object
Gene Cafe CBR-101 uses an off-axis rotating glass chamber that keeps the beans moving while leaving the roast visible. The maker lists a maximum batch of 250 g and recommends using about 80 percent of that capacity for optimum roasting. The black US configuration is the model covered here.
The format offers a different roasting experience from a vertical air roaster or a conventional metal drum. Choose it when a visible chamber and a roughly 200 g routine suit your coffee use. Follow the manufacturer’s operating and exhaust guidance, and check the current availability of the linked 120 V model.
