Introducing new: Public Profile Library
Our main goal is to make roasting as fun and easy as possible. Until now, every profile created and shared with other ROEST users has been uploaded to the profile library inside our forum. We have now created another new feature inside the web portal: the public profile library. To make it easy to find and share profiles. All in one place.
ROEST’s new profile library inside the web portal.
Finding the right profile
Roasting coffee is a form of art. Setting the right profile for the right beans can be difficult. When sample roasting, you usually get one chance to roast an unfamiliar coffee, which can be challenging when evaluating the coffee or reaching its full potential.
When creating a new profile inside ROEST Web Portal, you can choose between the three most common:
Air temperature profile
Inlet temperature profile*
Power profile
Different types of profile you can create inside the web portal.
The advanced profiles you can create are:
Bean temperature profile
Bean temperature vs. power input **
Bean temperature vs. inlet temperature**
* for machines with an Inlet sensor
** available in BETA from March 2023
Which one to choose depends on what coffee you are roasting or batch size. Other parameters are also to consider when selecting a roasting profile for your sample roasts.
If you are roasting to evaluate a coffee’s quality, you might want to roast each batch in the same way to compare them fairly. If so, you must find the right profile for your beans and repeatedly repeat that.
If you are roasting for consumption, you might want to explore different profiles to find a style that consumers will enjoy. You can play around with other profiles, parameters, and roasting styles here.
Explore the world of ROESTing profiles
ROEST Web Portal is developed to make roasting easier and more educational and to give you a better understanding of the roasting process. Features inside the web portal are analyzing and comparing roasts, arranging cupping sessions, monitoring your roast in live view, and creating different types of profiles.
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.
Adding metdadata helps your profile to be searchable for others.
After creating a profile, one of the new things you can do is add metadata. Adding metadata such as description, origin, and the process will make your profile searchable through the filter. Let’s say you want to find a profile suitable for washed coffee from Central America. If metadata is added, a profile with these criteria will be shown. This will make it easier and more helpful to find the right profile you seek.
Share your profile
Within the ROEST community, many experienced roasters have made well-tested and verified profiles. And we know how educational and handy it can be to share different types of profiles with each other.
Every profile created by any ROEST user can now easily be uploaded to the public profile library. We encourage all our customers to upload their profiles to the public profile library so that we can share knowledge and passion between us.
Download as many profiles as you want from our profile library.
When a profile is uploaded and tested by us at ROEST, we can verify that profile, so it gets a badge next to it. All verified profiles have undergone a qualification process so that you know this is trustworthy.
You can also see how many times the profile was downloaded to help you see what is popular in our community. Did you enjoy the profile? Leave a star-rating.
Help us grow the community
Share your profile with other ROEST users to help us grow the community.
The public profile library is on its first version now, and as always, there will be improvements to the feature in the future. Right now, we need your help to fill it up with your favorite ROEST profiles.
How to publish your profile:
Go to the profile you want to share.
Add metadata to help others to search your profile.
Share your profile and add it to the profile library.
Now, let’s start exploring the different ways of roasting coffee together.
