Gene Cafe One Half Pound Coffee Roaster CBR-101
Gene Café CBR-101 is designed for a household roaster, however lots of Café Owners use it for the Café and Restaurant.
It incorporates state-of-the-art design, the highest quality materials and expert workmanship. Genesis Technology simplifies and automates the coffee roasting process.
Specifications
+ Name : CBR-101
+ Mixing type : twisting (Off-axis rotation)
+ Cooling : Heater Off(Manual/Automatic) on Roast end
VERY slow temperature ramp. Even after a full preheat the temp drops significantly and takes more than 5 minutes into the roast to get up to 450 F. For the price this home roaster has a pretty weak heating element. I would suggest a behmor over the Gene Café. If you do not do a full power pre-heat you will end up with a baked coffee instead of a roasted coffee.

Love it
This may be looked at by some as a little overkill for a hobby and not quite good enough for a small cafe, but for me (hobby) it was the next best and last upgrade. I love it. Very nice evenly roasted batches and the 1/2 pound per roast really add so much value for me. I have tried different beans with different roasts and each one comes out perfect.

GENE CAFE CBR-101 review.
We upgraded to this roaster from a FRESHROAST SR 500, mainly for the increased capacity. The GENE CAFE turned out to have more benefits than just that. The big one is the consistency of the roast. The others include ease of use, and easy to clean. The only small negative we have found so far is the attachment of the chaff catcher. It is a friction fit and is a little awkward to install and remove. Other than that it is a great product that I would recommend to someone looking for a medium capacity, easy to use roaster.

I went from a Breville Barista Express to this dual boiler beauty and couldn't be happier with this purchase. Cost a pretty penny, but every espresso made makes me reassured about my purchase. Shipping took a few days longer than normal, but assumed that was due to the open box.
Steams milk incredibly quick, and my lattes taste even better! Hope this is my last espresso machine purchase since I don't think my wallet can take another hit like this.
I've had my Quick Mill Silvano machine for 3 years now. I purchased it after 2 Breville consumer machines crapped out after 2 years... one stopped making steam, the other leaked. And neither made great tasting coffee or substantial crema. So I took the plunge and purchased this machine and I'm so happy I did. What I love about it: the PID display of boiler temp and brew time. The simplicity of the controls. The fact that I can froth at the same time as pulling shots. The quality of the parts and longevity of the machine. The ease of cleaning. Finally, and most importantly, the great taste of the espresso I get every morning from the Silvano.
I just got my Lelit Bianca V3 and I love it. The people at Majesty Coffee were a delight to work with and they were very prompt. I would highly recommend them.
Yes, $3,000 is a lot of money. However, when you decide to enter this high level espresso machine category (DB, PID, flow control, excellent steam power, etc.), you will quickly find that the Lelit Bianca V3 is a bargain.
Moving up from a Gaggia Classic, I was concerned that I was over-buying and paying for a lot of features I would never use. Wrong! Initially, I left everything at factory settings and did not touch the flow control. A few weeks and tons of perfect shots later, I'm experimenting with shot profiles, Turbo shots... you name it.
I'm getting great shots and only wish I had saved the money from the earlier machines and gone straight to the Bianca. It's that good.
Downsides: None that I can see.
You will love this machine.
