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.

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.

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.
