About…

Profilsimulatoren har et overvejende internationalt publikum, så for at holde vedligehold til et minimum, er navne og beskrivelser er holdt på engelsk, ligesom hjælpen også er det.

This tool is not a simulator per se, but more a representation of how a roast curve behaves when you move a control point. Raimond Feil makes an interesting analogy in his book Coffee Roasting Made Simple, where he likens the curve with that of a ball rebounding upon being thrown to the floor. Very little can be controlled once the roast has been started. This, of course, is not accurate but it has some truth to it.

Move control points around, and the curve will follow a smooth path between them. A true roast curve will behave differently but this approximation is how we want the roast to proceed. If, for instance, we move the turning point and keep the other points fixed, we can see how the curve tries to bow upwards after the yellowing point. This will help in determining which points to move if we want to extened the maillard phase or shorten the time before first crack.

Second crack is deliberately not included, as this is rarely affected by early changes.

The charge point always starts at 00:00 but can change temperature.
