Why use a Reference Curve?


A Reference Curve is an important tool to help you to maximize your consistency. It functions as a guideline during roasting. 
💡 We recommend setting a Reference Curve for each of the Profiles you create. 

The Reference Curve will be the grey curve in the background of your Roasting Intelligence that guides you through the roast.
