A must-have for roasting enthusiasts

Ive been roasting coffee for a few months now, first in popcorn poppers and now in a Behmor home roaster. This app seemed like a good addition to my toolset. After having used it for several months, run 40+ roasts through it, logged 30+ cuppings, etc. Im still finding awesome features! It amazes me how thorough it is. Almost every piece of my roasting/brewing operation can be managed with Roastmaster (the only thing it doesnt have is a brew timer feature – but there are other good apps like Bloom that can give you those features).

I have to admit, as a web/user interface designer, I was a bit skeptical about the apps design from the screenshots. After having used it for a while, though, Ive fallen in love with the interface. Believe me, its VERY well done. Most features are very discoverable and for those that arent, you can browse the voluminous help documents available from within the app.

One of my favorite things about this app is the way you can associate everything together. For instance, I can log a cupping and associate it with a specific roast (not just a bean). As I roast, it tracks my green coffee inventory to let me know what I have left "in stock." The relational database model they talk about is super effective and well-implemented here.

If you are a hobbyist (or pro) and want to take your roasting up a few notches, buy this app! Its worth every penny.
