Roast History & Analytics

Every roast saved, and what they add up to over months.

Available in RoastConsole Pilot on Mac. A native Mac app for monitoring, controlling, and reviewing roasts. Connects to your machine, draws the curve, and keeps the record.

Trends across months, not just batches

Shrinkage, development time, and drift read across the whole history rather than one roast at a time.

One bad entry cannot skew it

Implausible weight-loss values, usually a missed weight, are set aside quietly so a single mistake does not distort the trend.

Reading the record

Move through the views that make up roast history & analytics.

Roasts recorded on this Mac and roasts synced down from Cloud appear together, each marked with which it is. Machine, green weight, duration, and whether the batch completed or was aborted are all on the row.

Reference

Accuracy and trust

Features that exist so the numbers can be relied on.

Two-point probe calibration

Measure at two known points and the correction is applied from then on.

Selectable Rate-of-Rise methods

Tune the live edge to your machine rather than accepting one fixed calculation.

Probe-fault and signal-loss detection

Warnings when a reading should not be trusted.

Shrinkage filtering

Implausible weight-loss values are set aside, so one entry cannot skew a trend.

Separate review windows

A completed roast opens in its own resizable window for full-curve review.

Export at any point

Artisan formats, RoastConsole CSV, or a rendered image, saved where you choose.
