Roastmaster

We have logged thousands of roasts on several different roasters using iPads bluetherm duo’s and this app... it works extremely well with lots of things to tweak behind a relatively simple interface if you so desire...

This app has the capability to be a great app for roasting if they update it. If you have a Behmor 1600 and only use single origins your good. I can only inventory my single origin beans, wouldn't let me list my blends that are from multiple origins. So far this is a waste of $10

Except for coffee! And like the full suite of Office, I only use about 5% of what’s offered! I log inventory, roast times (nose, eyes, ears mainly) but overall, a useful tool for a roaster business. If there were just one item I’d like added, it would be the development percentage added to the roast screen! My mental math, converting the mins/secs to hit 25-30% DT is just too much every roast! Since dev time is a percentage function, why not add it?!?

I tried all the major roasting software apps/programs. I used Cropster and Artisan extensively and came back to Roastmaster. The scope is pretty much one of the best you can use and it has all the features you could possibly want! I just hope they push an update before apple makes it redundant.

Tool is very helpful in tracking my roasts and creating consistency in my output. I must also say that Danny has incredible to work with. Great developer and professional support! Have a cup of coffee and catch your breathe.

I avoided this app for a long time because I *wrongly* thought it was dead and from the iOS 6 area of skeuomorphism. Screenshots on their website are dated, the roaster graphic threw me, along with infrequent updates. I finally bought it today on the verge of writing my own app, and oh boy am I glad I did! I’ve really been missing out for a long time. It’s well thought out, feature rich, and works very well. If you home roast, and don’t want to use Artisan, this app is a must have. I have a Behmor, and it has custom profiles just for that which is great and niche because I can’t easily put probes in there and the automatic modes are already profiled.

Great app! Love it. One issue: turning on the iOS setting “Increase Contrast” obscures the description for all Preference settings. Sorry for posting bugs here. I didn’t want to create an account on the forum.

Top notch software and invaluable to a home roaster. I think this would be my most missed app if an os upgrade ever broke it. Please keep up the great work on this.

I’m new to roasting but I started using this app to document my progress and results. Quite satisfied with its capability. Since I’m using a Behmor 1600+ I don’t have an easy way to log bean temperatures but I can log the basic B reading for comparison purposes. Help files are full of great documentation. If I had a wish list it would be for two items - ability to store a low to medium resolution image with a roast, and the ability to make a blend from existing roasts.

I have been using RoastMaster for nearly two years and can't imagine roasting without it. Stat is transmitted to the app on my iPad via Bluetooth. The app provides consistency and milestones to help me roast the way I want. It also tracks inventory, cuppings, scores, ratings, etc. I have created curve templates so I can follow a precise roasting profile and modify it as desired. Very full featured and highly recommended.
