    Why is my Gene Cafe Kitchen Appliances producing excessive smoke during roasting?

      Charles AguilarSep 3, 2025
      Excessive smoke during roasting can occur if the chaff collector inside the metal filter is clogged; empty the chaff collector. It may also be caused by an incorrect roasting temperature, so check your temperature and time settings to prevent over-roasting. Finally, ensure you are using the correct amount of green coffee beans, as overfilling the roasting chamber can also cause this issue.

    • S
      salinastammyAug 26, 2025
      If the rotation doesn't stop in your Gene Cafe kitchen appliance, it might be because it hasn't cooled down sufficiently. Wait until the temperature is lower, and avoid using the appliance in high ambient temperatures. Alternatively, you can manually stop the rotation by pressing the TEMP(STOP) knob, which will halt the operation at or below 100°C/212°F.
