A roast you can roast again, and a shelf of benchmarks to measure against.
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.
Roast against a profile and the difference from it is shown live, as a figure and as colour, while there is still time to correct.

Gas, air, and drum events are attached to points in the profile, so the instruction arrives where it applies rather than from memory.

Batches and cupping scores stay attached to the version that produced them, so a profile change can be judged on what it actually did.
Count of batches by shrinkage band · n = 234

Move through the views that make up roast profiles & curves.
Profiles synced down from Cloud sit above the ones held locally on this Mac, each tagged with its roast level so the shelf reads at a glance. A profile seeded from a past roast says which roast, and when.
Reference
The mechanics, briefly.
Draw a target curve directly.
Turn a batch that went well into a reusable target.
Bring in profiles you already hold, including RoastPATH .rpath files.
Add a completed roast to the reference library by hand.
Attach gas, air, and drum prompts to points in the curve.
See the live difference from target as a figure and as colour.
Batches and cupping scores stay attached to the version that produced them.
Artisan CSV and .alog, RoastConsole CSV, or a rendered image.
A profile is a target you roast against, and the app tracks your deviation from it. A reference is a past roast drawn on the chart for comparison. The reference library holds pinned roasts and imported benchmarks; profiles are the curves you actively aim at.

Cloud comes with a 14-day trial and no credit card. Pilot is free for Mac. Start with whichever one matches where the work happens.
