How to download profiles
If you wish to download library to your ROEST, follow these easy instructions:
1. Login into the Web Portal with your username and password.
2. Click on Profiles, located on the main menu.
3. To assign new profiles, scroll down to “Assign To Slot” and click on the arrow on the far right for the profile you wish to assign (there is a limit of five profiles assigned to your roaster). Click on the arrow facing downwards on your assigned profiles to remove them from the machine. See below.
If you have already assigned five profiles to your machine, a message will be prompted telling you to replace one of the existing profiles with the new one.
4. Connect ROEST to Wi-Fi.
5. Go to your profile library in the roaster and download assigned profiles by tapping DOWNLOAD in the lower right corner.
Wait for profiles to download. The Sample Roaster will fetch the assigned profiles. Tap on “TAP TO CLOSE THIS WINDOW” when completed. If you’re updating your roaster with previously downloaded profiles, the list will simply be updated, and not spend time downloading the profiles again.

About roasting profiles
All you need to know about the roasting profiles of your ROEST.
Sections:
Type of profiles
There are four main roasting profiles available:
Air temperature profile - often abbreviated ET (environmental temperature)
Power profile
Inlet temperature profile
Bean temperature profile - often abbreviated BT
ET and BT profiles start roasting with a temperature defined in profile creation. Power and inlet profiles have a waiting temperature (charge temperature) specified in “ROAST SETTINGS” on the touchscreen, where you can change it from the default 180C. For all profiles, you can set a preheat temperature in profile creation instead if preferred.
Library of profiles
After ordering the ROEST sample roaster you will receive an email with your username and password.
To access the library, login into the Web Portal (you can read how to do it here), go to the Main Menu and click on Profiles.
As you can see in the image below, the library is divided into two sets of profiles: “Assigned Profiles” and profiles to “Assign to slot”.
1. Assigned profiles – profiles (up to 5) downloaded to your roaster’s library.
2. Assign to slot – all profiles you have created or downloaded that are yet unassigned.
3. “Created by...” shows the original creator of the profile.
4. Type of profile - ET, BT, or power profile.
5. “Share profile” - tap to generate a link that can be shared with others.
6. “Show share link” - tap to receive the link for your profile, which can be shared with other ROEST users.
7. “Create new profile” - Editor for creating new profiles.
Selecting profiles
These three quick steps will take you to the list of downloaded profiles.
1. Go to the Main Menu
2. Tap “PROFILES”
3. Select a profile
After that, you will automatically be directed back to the main screen, and the roaster will start adjusting the parameters to the selected profile. Once it reaches the target temperature, the roaster is ready to roast.
Creating profiles
Follow the instructions in this guide if you wish to create a new profile.
Downloading profiles
The roaster can store a maximum of five profiles at a time. If you wish to change any of them, log into the Web Portal and assign new profiles. Once assigned, return to your roaster and tap “DOWNLOAD.” Now you have the new profiles added to your roaster.
A more detailed guide on downloading profiles can be found here.
Sharing profiles
Go to your library and find the profile you want to share.
The button “Share profile“ will appear on the right if it is the first time sharing this profile.
If the profile has been shared before, the button “Show share link“ will show instead.
First time sharing the profile - click on SHARE PROFILE
1. Click on "generate share link"
2. Your share link will appear at the top of your profiles screen.
Profile previously shared - click on SHOW SHARE LINK
Copy the generated URL and share the profile as usual.
How to create a profile
Instructions
1. Login into the Web Portal with your username and password. After ordering the ROEST sample roaster, you will receive an email with your username and password.
2. Click on “Profiles” located on the main menu, under the picture of your roaster.
3. Click on the “+” sign on the right, next to the search box.
4. Choose a profile type from the menu that appears.
Which types of profile are available depends on which model of machine you have.
4. You will land on the page shown below.
A. Give your profile a name.
B. You can set a preheat temperature if you wish. If none is given, it will preheat to the temperature of the first point in your profile. If roasting with a power profile, it will preheat to the chosen waiting temperature (found in roasting settings) if not given a preheat temperature.
C. You can choose from four different end conditions. Development time and bean temp can also be changed on-screen during roasting, but total roast time cannot.
D. You can add extra information about the profile (called ‘metadata’) if you wish.
You can also load a previous profile or roast curve to load in the background as a reference when designing your profile. Click on ‘Compare Profile’ and you will be given the option to load a profile or roast batch as your reference.
E. You can edit multiple parameters in each profile. Switch between parameters with this drop-down menu.
How to create a curve
Example of creating an Air Temperature profile and plotting its curve
1. Choose the parameter you want to edit by choosing from the list or clicking on the line you want to edit. You’ll be starting with two points already; a starting point and an ending point. Both of these can be edited but not deleted.
2. To add a point, tap “ADD POINT”.
3. Adjust the time and the corresponding unit of your chosen parameter and tap OK.
SHORTCUT:
Add a point by double-clicking directly on the line.
Then edit the point by clicking and dragging the point to the desired position, directly on the graph.
4. Continue adding points. The curve will be shaped based on your added points.
5. Continue adding points for all parameters.
6. Before you can save, remember to give your profile a name.
