Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

What's your typical "baseline" roast process look like with the Gene? I have one too but I haven't spent a ton of time messing with it, living in a big city with access to a ton of great roasters makes it hard for me to justify the time in dialing in just to get inferior coffee in the cup. I'd love any tips or tricks that you've learned along the way!

My "baseline" nowadays is:

  • 180 for 3 minutes
  • 235 to 245 until the beginning of first crack
  • 220 until drop.

As a rule of thumb, I found that fruitier coffees benefit from a higher temp and therefore a quicker roast.

I drop anywhere from 30s to 1 min after the beginning of 1C.
