What's your email address, it maybe easier to communitcate about the subject that way?

DeWayne, if your still on here from time to time shoot a note I have a chef friend in St. Louis who had some question that I thought you may be able to help with.

It's good to hear from you, hope all is well in Cape. I left the restaurant I was at about 2 years ago and have been with Kaldi's in St. Louis since. It's been a great lifestyle switch with my family, but I do miss the kitchen from time to time. I'll let you know the next time my wife and I are in town we'd love to come by and eat again, always a great expeience.

Sorry, DeWayne - my typo put you in an OLD time zone (2002 vs 1902). My experience is much limited, but I haven't seen "power surge" problems with my Gene Cafe. I don't know if it's the wiring in our home (which was built in 1997) or the machine. Most of my roast times with the Gene Cafe are in the 16-17 minute range and it's easy to add/subtract temp and time as you go along. Don't know a lot about the iRoast, but isn't the roast time much shorter? I would think, but don't know, that power variations on fast roast cycles might have more of an effect on the outcome.

One thing I have read about the iRoast that I like is the ability to save roast "profiles", something I can't do with my Gene Cafe. I rely on my roasting log sheets to re-create the roast for a specific bean.

DeWayne,

It's great to "see" you on here!!! This will be a great place to pick a lot of coffee brains. Also it will be a lot easier to stay in touch!!!

DeWayne;
That had to be a neat experience. There are just a couple of shops in my area that do their own roasting. I keep trying to "pal" up to them and gleam up all I can.

Wow, roasting since 1902. You must have a pretty good handle on what you're doing. I'm certainly still trying to figure it out.

Cape Girardeau, hmmmm, you've got that "little" river running through there, right?

DeWayne;
I'm a home roaster as well. I roast on a Gene Cafe that I bought in December, my first one. What are you currently roasting on?
