How to roast Italian
on a Gene Cafe CBR-101
Which coffee are you roasting?
- Arabica WashedDense, clean seeds with little sugar left on them - they take high heat well and colour evenly.
- Arabica Honey SundriedFruit sugar dried onto the bean browns and scorches faster, so it charges ~10°C cooler and cracks a little earlier.
- Arabica NaturalDried inside the whole cherry: sugary, uneven seeds that brown fastest and shed lots of chaff. Gentler heat, earliest crack.
- Robusta WashedSmall, very dense, low-sugar beans: they need the Gene's full heat, crack ~1 min later and quieter, and smoke a lot.
- Robusta NaturalDense and dried in the cherry, so it colours unevenly and cracks late. Full heat, and give it the whole development time.
