How to set the Rate of Rise within Roasting Intelligence
Table of Contents
Overview
This article covers the fundamentals of Rate of Rise (RoR), including how to enable, disable, and reset it within your measurements. The Rate of Rise (RoR) is the speed at which the temperature of your beans is increasing. It’s measured over a specific time, usually between 30 and 60 seconds.
Instructions
Setting up the Rate of Rise setup
- Log in to Roasting Intelligence.
- Navigate to
Preferences and select Roasting > Rate of Rise (RoR). - Choose between Recommended, Sensitive, and Noise smoothing, then select your preferred Time expression unit.
-
Click Save to apply the changes.

💡 Tips and recommendations:
- We suggest using the recommended (standard) RoR curve setting.
- The time expression doesn't affect the RoR calculation, but only shows your preferred measurement unit for temperature increments (default: 60s).
Enabling and disabling the Rate of Rise for the measurements
⚠️ Ensure you have added the appropriate measurements as specified in your roasting machine's setup instructions.
- Log in to Roasting Intelligence.
- Navigate to the
Preferences > Machine > Measurements tab. - Select the dropdown associated with the measurement for which you want to enable or disable the RoR.
- To enable Rate of Rise, check the Rate of Rise box (it will turn green). To disable it, uncheck the box (it will turn white).
