Now a vital part of my roasting

The hardware portion was a little intimidating, but after installing Phidgets hardware and connecting it to my Diedrich IR-12 it just works. So all I do is use the software and havent given the HW a second thought. As it should be.

Profiling my roasts is automatic now. With the ability to zoom in I can see trouble coming and adjust if necessary. The delta curve tells me more information than just the temp curve. The ability to save roasts as profiles makes repeating a roast much easier. You can even cup and score your roasts in the app.

All kinds of features are customizable- the delta curve size, how data is presented in the analyzer, when control points are recorded. I keep learning more about it as I dig deeper. The developer is responsive and genuinely interested in making the app work for all of us, home or biz roaster.

The Dropbox integration is nice. I noticed if I pass a database back and forth via Dropbox it sometimes comes up as the old version. This maybe a Dropbox issue, quitting both Dropbox and RM and then sending the database over seems to get it right.

My only gripe is that data entry could be simplified. Like sliders for cupping scores, data points that are numbers and such.

This app is now an integral part of my roasting day. Its my living. The app has paid for itself and the hardware since day one. Thank you for making my life so much easier and my coffee so much better!
