    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.
