The Gene Roaster allows more flexibility to control the roast while having a greater visual advantage with its tempered glass drum design. The roaster's drum has an innovative vortex twisting motion that allows the beans to tumble evenly while hot air circulates around them. Large capacity chamber allow roasting batches as large as 300grams to as small as 50grams. Since the key to producing the perfect roast is having more control over the variables. Two knobs on the front of the unit can be adjusted for time and temperature. A manual cool button allows you to stop the roasting process at any point you feel the coffee is ready. While some of the better roasting machines allow you to program your roast; once the roasting process begins, the flexibility to make changes are limited, if any. The Gene Cafe Roaster has added this feature so that you can make unlimited changes in the temperature and/or time settings before and during the roast. (Since not all beans roast the same- this is a great feature - we love that!) The cool cycle takes place in the drum. When the eternal temps reach 140 F, the drum stops and alerts the roaster with an auditable beep. The unit's operation is impressively quiet. It may take a few roasts to discern from the pops in the roasting stages from the beans hitting the glass as they tumble. In addition to the illustrated owner's manual, a 1 year warranty is included with the roaster. Additional parts include an attachable chaff collector which sits on the side, a chamber support which holds the chamber when not in use, and cup to measure for beans. Never leave a roaster unattended when roasting coffee. ## Features - Roast up to 250g of green coffee beans in about 15 minutes with the easy-to-use Gene Cafe CBR-101. - Fully viewable roast chamber and fully adjustable time and temperature allow for maximum control over your roasts. - Unique 3D off-axis rotation ensures an even roast every time. - Impressively quiet operation. - Works with standard 120v power. ## Images ![CBR-101 Home Coffee Roaster - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GCI3BApdL.jpg) ![CBR-101 Home Coffee Roaster - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/410hg-LrAML.jpg) ![CBR-101 Home Coffee Roaster - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41f5HhUeCgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Love It *by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2016* I've roasted 8 small (100G) batches of varying degrees. Several different beans including decaf. The decaf beans get dark faster so I use a 20 degree lower temp and it's fine. The owner's manual has lot's of good info including recommended temps and times. Both of which are easily adjustable before and during the roast. The cool down cycle is a crucial part of the roasting, don't rush it. I also pour the cooled beans into a skillet to complete the cooling. The 100g batches work well for a single coffee drinker. No chance for the roasted beans to get stale before I use them up. So simple to roast a batch on the spot but it's recommended to wait 24-36 hours after roasting for the beans to "develop". You can make it as simple or complicated as you wish. I keep a written chart so I can replicate the exact roast if I like it. I'll update my review if I find any significant differences when roasting a larger batch. I highly recommend this machine along with a conical burr grinder and brew using the pour over method for 1-2 mugs. I have a Bunn drip machine that does a nice job for a full pot. I have noticed that I need less coffee as the fresh roasted is more flavorful and stronger. Better tasting coffee and my machine will pay for itself in a year. You should be able to buy green beans from a local roaster for $5/lb vs $17/lb for their fresh roasted beans. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars This is the best choice for a home roaster if you include dark roasts. Much better quality roast than high-volume hot air roast *by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2016* This is the best choice for a home roaster if you include dark roasts. Much better quality roast than high-volume hot air roasters.Reasonably quiet, (but there is a weighted "flapper" that cleans the output screen, this interferes with the sound of the crack...it's still audible, but you have to pay attention.Easy to clean.Cools down rather slowly. You need to stop 45-ish seconds before the roast you want.Better visibility than the Bohmor, can roast dark roasts, unlike the Bohmor, which will ruin the sensors. Not as quiet as the Bohmor. Can't roast as much as the Bohmor, but since roasted coffee loses flavor after a week, having a pound of roasted coffee isn't really an issue for me. YMMV.So easy to use, and such a great roast.If you don't make darker roasts (Full City+ or darker), the Bohmor might be preferable. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Does not get to temperature. *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2023* I used this product outdoors. When the temperature gets into the 40s this takes forever just to heat to low 400s. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1730671-cbr-101-home-coffee-roaster-black](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1730671-cbr-101-home-coffee-roaster-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
