Home Coffee Roaster works on the same principle as commercial roasters, however, it is
much simplified with lesser controls and is built on a small footprint for small roast batch size so as to
make it commercially viable for the home users. There are 2 main types of roasters: drum and fluid bed
roasters. Drum roaster works by rotating the raw coffee beans in a cylinder with heat transfer via
convection or infrared radiation. Fluid bed roaster uses hot air to roast the coffee beans in the air, usually
within a glass chamber where the entire roasting process can be monitored easily. In general, drum
roaster will roast a batch of beans slower than the fluid bed roaster, giving a fuller taste with more body
than the same batch roasted in the fluid bed. On the other hand, the fluid bed roaster, given its much
faster roast, tends to capture more of the delicate subtleties (eg. fruitiness) of the bean characteristics.
The QARR Shop is pleased to offer the Gene Cafe Coffee Roaster, a hybrid between drum and hot air
roaster with patented off-axis twisting glass chamber that produces a very even roast. In terms of taste, it
combines the good body of drum roasting with the brightness of hot air roasting. Roasting can be as
simple as filling the glass chamber with a few scoops of raw coffee beans (not more than 3 scoops
though), turning the time and temperature knobs to the designated levels according to the manual based
on your roasting style preference, and watching the roaster in action. Or if you so prefer to be as precise
and consistent as possible, you can continuously vary the time and temperature throughout the roasting
process to achieve the desired roast style.
Read how we choose our home roaster for The QARR Shop and you will appreciate why we eventually
settle on the Gene Café Roaster by Genesis.
