Watch bean temperature and rate-of-rise live and roast against a target — then track green inventory, cost per roasted kg, production and cupping across your team. One platform, priced for small roasteries.
The live roast you already trust — plus the business layer around it.
Bean temp, environment and rate-of-rise streamed in real time over a local WebSocket.
Overlay a reference profile with live delta-to-target and drift alerts, and auto-drop to end and save the roast.
Reads a USB Phidget board on your roasting PC and keeps going if the wifi drops. Import Cropster PDF, CSV, Artisan & JSON.
Track lots, suppliers, on-hand kg and inventory value. Each roast draws down its lot automatically by charge weight.
Every batch by coffee and operator, with shrinkage — plus green valuation, spend by supplier and cost per roasted kg.
Score batches (lite or SCA), flag samples, and see weekly volume, shrinkage, roast-to-roast consistency and stock forecasts.
Pick a profile and see the goals — charge temp, turning point, first crack, development ratio — before you charge.
Green inventory, production, costs and quality — the tools Cropster charges a fortune for, in Spanish and English.
Sign up and start a 30-day free trial — no credit card required.
Install on your roasting PC and plug in the Phidget thermocouple board.
Enter a pairing code from your account, press Start, and watch the curve.
An honest take — a Cropster alternative that won't cost like one.
Free & powerful, runs on your PC. Great if you're technical and just want the curve on one machine. Steeper setup, no built-in cloud.
The full production platform — inventory, QC, traceability. Built for larger operations, and priced like it.
The live curve plus the business layer — green inventory, production, cost per kg, cupping and analytics — simple and affordable (S/ 49/mo), Spanish-first. Best when Cropster's too pricey and Artisan's too fiddly.
Roast Monitor is made by the team behind Yanahuayo Coffee, a working roastery in Moyobamba, San Martín, Perú. Every competitor is a software company; we roast for a living and built the tool we needed on the roasting floor. When something doesn't help a real roast day, it doesn't ship.
Real figures from our own roastery.
Cost per kg from our cost model; some operating costs are estimates.
Two plans. Start on Tostadería; scale to Producción when you grow.
