For home coffee roasters

Every batch is an experiment. Profilo logs the result so you can repeat the wins.

Home roasters tweak one variable at a time — first crack temperature, development time ratio, fan speed, batch size — and try to remember which combination produced the blueberry note in lot #23. Profilo gives you a per-batch profile with the SCA wheel as the result canvas. Compare batches over time. Find the recipe that works.

What you're trying to get done

→ Log every batch as a discrete profile (date, green, process, roast variables, result)
→ Mark the SCA wheel for what you actually tasted, batch over batch
→ Compare two roasts of the same green side-by-side
→ Share a profile with another home roaster — "cup this, do you taste what I taste?"

Where the existing tools fall short

Honest about where the current options break down — that's the gap Profilo fills.

Roast logs and tasting notes live in different places

The Roastime CSV captures temps and times. Your tasting notes live in a Moleskine. Linking the two requires you to remember which page goes with which batch. Three months in, you give up.

Comparing batches is impossible without structure

"That second-crack roast from October — was that the one with stone fruit?" If your notes are unstructured prose, you can't filter, you can't compare. The SCA wheel gives a fixed coordinate system to plot every batch on.

Home-roaster communities trade in screenshots

You post a batch in r/roasting or a Discord. People ask "what did it taste like?" You attach a photo of your handwritten notes. Profilo's public profile URLs are the better unit of exchange — link, not screenshot.

How Profilo helps

Specific features that solve the home roasters problem. Not a feature dump — the four that move the needle for this use case.

Unlimited free profiles? Almost

The free tier caps at 3 saved profiles, but most home roasters are happy to rotate or upgrade to Pro for $19.99/month for unlimited. If you roast weekly, Pro pays for itself in time saved on log-keeping.

SCA wheel as the result canvas

The same 110-attribute wheel professional Q graders use. Click leaves for what you tasted. The wheel becomes your batch fingerprint. Two batches of the same Yirgacheffe? Compare wheels.

Public URLs for community sharing

Toggle a profile public, share the URL. Other home roasters click, see the wheel and your batch notes, save to their own library. Better than screenshots in a forum.

AI bag scanner for inspiration

Bought a bag of pro-roasted coffee for benchmarking? Photograph it, AI-scan to create a reference profile in your library. Cup yours next to it. Adjust your next roast accordingly.

A typical home-roaster batch

Concrete. What the day actually looks like.

1.

Friday night — roast

Behmor / Hottop / Aillio Bullet / Popper. Whatever you've got. Log roast curve in your usual tool. Note start/end temps, time to first crack, development ratio.

2.

Sunday morning — cup the rest

After 36-hour rest, brew. Open Profilo, click "+ profile," name it (e.g. "Yirg #23 — DTR 22%"), click leaves on the wheel for what you taste. ~2 minutes.

3.

Next month — compare

Open your library. Filter to the same green. Pull up the wheels side by side. Spot the variables that matter. Plan the next roast accordingly.

Home roasters who track 4+ batches a month notice patterns the casual logger misses. If you're about to buy a $300 roast-logging tool, try Profilo's free tier first — most home setups never need to upgrade.
