As a professional roaster, your work goes beyond just operating a roasting machine. In today’s competitive market, consistently producing high-quality coffee is essential. To achieve this, meticulously recording and managing your roasting data is crucial, as issues often become apparent only after the roasting. Without proper records, you are left with beans that offer no insights.
However, the challenge lies in handling the sheer amount of data. Firescope simplifies this process, making it easy to track and utilize your roasting data effectively. Let's explore how.
Before starting the roasting process, it’s essential to input key details like batch name, roaster name, profile, green beans, and input weight. Accurate entries for batch and roaster names will make record retrieval easier later.
For repeated roasting sessions, entering similar data can become tedious. To streamline this, Firescope offers a profile feature that lets you save and reuse these details. Learn more about the profile feature here (https://docs.firescope.io/v/en/key-features/profile).
Most roasting software automatically tracks events like charge, turning point, and drop. However, manually recording events like yellow point and first crack is necessary, as these can vary by roaster and bean type.
Firescope stands out by offering seamless precision in recording these key events. You can mark them using convenient keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl + 1, 2) or by right-clicking directly on the roasting chart.
Recording adjustments to your roasting machine is necessary, particularly for older models without digital tracking for settings like burner and airflow. These adjustments are key variables that influence coffee flavor, and analyzing them can offer valuable insights. Firescope simplifies logging these control settings, just as you would record roasting events, and displays them in a clear, visualized chart for better analysis.
After roasting, you can log important details about the finished coffee, such as output weight and measurable values like color. Additionally, any observations or tasting notes from sampling the coffee can be recorded in the notes section at the bottom right. This ensures you capture the full picture of each roast.
Why is it important to record data during roasting? With tools like Firescope, roasters can minimize repetitive tasks and consistently achieve high-quality results. Here's how:
Firescope automatically updates your inventory of green and roasted beans based on the data you record during roasting. Each green bean's page shows its usage history linked to roasting records, eliminating the need for time-consuming post-roast inventory management. By simply selecting a profile during roasting, you can accurately track green bean usage and monitor inventory levels with ease.
Easily locating your roasting records is crucial for comparing past successes with current batches. Firescope allows you to search by batch name, green bean type, or roaster, and filter by date to quickly find the records you need. Summarized information is displayed in a table, so you can review key details without opening each record individually. These features simplify the process of managing and accessing roasting data, even when dealing with multiple batches daily.
Comparing multiple roasting records is essential during quality control or when refining your roasting profiles. Firescope's record comparison feature allows you to analyze factors like heat differences and preheating variations, helping you fine-tune your roasts and achieve consistency.
By leveraging these tools, you can streamline your process, ensure high-quality results, and gain deeper insights into your roasting techniques. If you're interested in trying Firescope, simply click the inquiry button on the right to get started!
