Updates on P3000 - the Automated Production Roaster
We're thrilled to bring you the latest news on the P3000, our next leap in coffee roasting technology.
Roasting Strategies with BT/IT Profiles: What You Need to Know
In this post, we’ll share some tips on optimizing your profile, explain why BT/IT profiles are so powerful — and set you up with some sample profiles to start your journey. To kickstart your journey with creating your own BT/IT profiles, we asked some of our early adopters to share what they’ve learned over the last few months of roasting with the new profile type.
Adapting to the beans: introducing Bean/Inlet Temperature profiles
Our sample roasters perform the same way each and every time that you roast - but sometimes, the green beans have other ideas. Every batch of beans is slightly different, even if you pull them from the same bag.
The solution is a roast profile that adapts itself to how the beans respond by adjusting the amount of heat according to what stage of the roast the beans have reached. You can do this with Bean Temperature/Inlet Temperature (BT/IT) profiles, a new feature included in our latest firmware update.
Introducing new: Public Profile Library
If you are new to roasting or want to explore other roasting profiles, we have now made it easy for you to download and upload profiles directly from our web portal. We want to create a space where everyone can roast coffee, develop their skill, and share their knowledge about coffee roasting.
Introducing a new feature: Inlet Temperature Sensor
After interesting discussions with Scott Rao and Luca Costanzo, we revisited the idea of implementing an Inlet temperature sensor based on the new inlet temperature sensors we have developed for p2000. The inlet temperature sensor is a prominent feature in the roasting community and several roasters worldwide use it. It is a great addition and improvement to the way you operate the ROEST.
ROEST web portal - track your roasting sessions
Being able to store, analyze, and compare your roasting session is a good way to learn, develop as a roaster, and improve your sample roasting experience. We have developed a web platform, where you can be in full control of your roaster and roasting session, do adjustments based on your preferences, and make sure you’ll get the most out of your ROEST sample roaster.
Updates on R&D of P2000
It’s been a few years since we started development of the ROEST P2000 – Production Hybrid Roaster. In June 2021 we announced the first information and early bird technical specification - now it’s time for an update! We are currently roasting and testing on prototype #5 in the line, while at the same time finalizing the details of prototype #6 (P06).
It's time to go bigger
To operate a production roaster is not an easy job, even for a skilled roaster. The team at ROEST decided to face this challenge. To make it easy for anyone to operate a bigger scale roaster and deliver better coffee for everyone. Batch after batch. And yes – you can again do your emails while all this is done. ROEST P2000 - production hybrid roaster.
The voice of coffee
Introducing a new feature: FIRST CRACK DETECTION. It turns your coffee roaster in to fully automatic roaster delivering higher consistency between your roasts. It registers the first crack for you and finishes the roast without any assistance.
