The Digital Recipe for Consistency

Consistency is the name of the game in specialty coffee. By using Profiles in Cropster, you’re not just roasting; you’re building a repeatable system for excellence.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to create new profiles
  • Managing different profiles per lot
  • Basic information needed to create profiles

Who is it for?

  • Roasters
  • Production Managers
  • Quality Control Managers
  • Any other team member who standardises roasting

Why is it important?

  • Profiles act as your digital recipe book. They allow you to compare every live roast against your “Golden Batch,” ensuring that your customers get the same high-quality flavour profile every time.

Let’s set up your first Profile!

Quick Start: Building a Profile

  1. Navigate: Head to Roasts > Profiles in your Cropster account.
  2. Name & Categorize: Use clear names (like “Morning Blend” or “Sumatra Dark”) to keep your production schedule organized.
  3. The Reference Curve: This is the “secret sauce.” Select a previous roast that tasted perfect; this curve will show up in the background while you roast to help you stay on target.
  4. Set Your Goals: Define your ideal roast time and end temperature so the system can flag any deviations.
  5. Save: Once saved, your profile will automatically sync to your Roasting Intelligence software.

Helpful Resources


With your profiles set up, you’ve officially built the roadmap for your roastery’s success. Whether you’re dialing in a new light roast or maintaining a classic blend, these digital recipes will keep your quality on track. Happy roasting!
