Tired of juggling spreadsheets, notebooks, and Artisan just to track your roasts?
RoastSource replaces them all. Inventory, roast profiles, tasting notes, blend recipes, and brewing guides — in one app that works offline and runs in your browser.
Start your next batch from any past roast or saved recipe, or roast another batch of the same coffee set up the same way.
Every rating sits on the roast that made it. The Roast Quality Score and a predicted cup show how a roast should taste before you brew it.
From a popcorn popper to a drum: 40+ machines. Your history isn’t tied to one brand’s app, so it comes with you when you change roasters.
Home roasters don't all roast the same way. RoastSource lets you pick how much detail you see during a roast and switch any time — your beans, history, and ratings stay the same. Only the view changes.
All three views come with Home. Start in Craft, drop into Journey when you want to learn, switch to Science when you want to dig in. Your data carries across every mode.
Every aspect of home coffee roasting, from green bean to brewed cup.
Tell RoastSource about your bean, your roaster, and the cup you're after, and Adaptive Roast works out a starting plan. Afterwards the Roast Quality Score shows how the batch went and where to focus next time.
Pick your bean (origin / country and processing), your roaster and batch size, and the roast level or flavor you're aiming for. Got moisture or density readings? Add them for extra precision — totally optional.
Heat and fan steps with target first-crack, development, and drop times. After first crack, a drop window counts down on screen.
After a few roasts on your machine, Adaptive Roast compares your weight loss with the target and nudges the next plan to close the gap.
Fewer batches spent dialing in, more cups you actually love. Included with Home.

I roast on a Fresh Roast — on the back patio when it's warm, in the garage when it rains, in the basement when it's too cold outside. What hooked me was how much origin, processing, and roast level change the cup: a light Ethiopian full of blueberry, a wet-hulled Sumatran that keeps getting better the darker you take it.
Tracking it all was the mess. Notebooks, spreadsheets, phone notes — I'd nail a roast and then couldn't repeat it. What I found was built for commercial drum roasters or was too complicated for how home roasters work, so I built the app I wanted: beans, roasts, cups, and blends in one place, so once you nail a roast you can do it again.
No installation. No account. Just open and start roasting.
