Cropster’s Roasting Intelligence (RI) is your eyes and ears in the drum. It allows you to track and visualize up to four temperatures, Rate of Rise and much more to give you accurate, real-time roasting assistance.

You can import roast curves from other systems into Cropster making the upgrade to Cropster easier. This means you can integrate your previous work and expertise with profiles into Cropster Roast.

Cropster can connect to any commercial roasting machine. Modern plug-and-play machines connect to Cropster with just a cable. Additionally, any machine with ungrounded thermocouples (K, J, E or T type) or RTD temperature sensors can easily connect to Cropster. Of course, personal support throughout the entire setup process (and beyond) is standard.

Roasting Intelligence detects the temperature changes that signal the beginning and ending of your roast and can start and stop the roast automatically based on your preferences.

If you have multiple profiles for different batch weights, you can easily seach for and find the right profile from directly within the RI and get straight to roasting.

Roasting Intelligence allows you to read a large variety of different parameters from your roasting machine as you roast. Visualize all key roast values you need in real-time to ensure consistent quality.

The Rate of Rise (RoR) curve displays the increase (or decrease) in bean temperature over a period of time. It highlights inconsistencies in temperature development with higher resolution than the bean temperature curve. Roasting Intelligence shows your RoR in real-time as you roast.
