Roasting Profiles – A Comprehensive Tutorial
In this comprehensive screencast, we take a detailed look at roasting profiles.
Clocking in at over 23 minutes, it really earns the title of “comprehensive”. We move fast, though, covering the function, use and flexibility of profiles, as well as the ways they can really help improve your roasts, and speed your workflow in Roastmaster. We also look at some real-world examples of profiles to help you get an idea of how to implement them in your own workflow.
Be on the lookout for a condensed, “Cliff Notes” version of this screencast, where we’ll glaze over the finer points for those anxious to get started quickly.

Roasting in the Analyzer – A Comprehensive Tutorial
In this screencast we walk through a roast in the roast analyzer using the Data Logging option, honing a slightly modified new drip profile for Ethiopian beans. It showcases a lot of the features of the roast analyzer as well as introduces a few concepts about roast profiles.
You’ll learn how to configure a roast in the roast console, load the past roasts you want to have available to you as you roast, then use that data in conjunction with profile data to perform a roast entirely in the analyzer.
You’ll also learn how to choose which sets of data you want to target, as well become familiar with some of the helpful tools Roastmaster provides to help you stay on those targets as you roast.
Despite all my attempts to keep this as brief as possible, this screencast reaches a whopping 16 minutes. It’s 16 minutes well-spent, though – there’s lots of good information packed in here, which earns it the title “Comprehensive”.
You can also view the abridge version of this screencast: Roasting in the Roast Analyzer: Preview Trailer. The trailer contains only the roast itself, removing all commentary and steps other than the basic tasks required to configure and perform the roast.
Please forgive my voice, courtesy of what I’ve dubbed my “Polar Vortex Head Cold”.
This roast makes use of the Data Logging option, and two external thermocouples measuring Bean Mass and Ambient Drum Temps. The same concepts apply, though – whether you’re using Data Logging or logging temps manually.

Getting Started With the Behmor 1600 Screencast
This screencast walks you through the easy task of defining a Behmor roaster in Roastmaster. It covers how to create a roast, and view the Behmor’s roasting curve in the roast console graph, and demonstrates using the graph criteria buttons to display similar past roasts.
Note: The Roaster Setup Assistant was introduced in Roastmaster iOS7. For roaster definitions created in earlier versions, or if modifying any of the names of a new roaster definition, you’ll need to make sure you adhere to the naming conventions here.
