Using Roast Goals

This article will explain the process of adding Roast Goals.



The Roast Goals feature is only available for Professional and higher tiers. 


    Why use Roast Goals?


    The Roast Goals feature enables you to monitor your roasts and your consistency objectives without the need for a Roast Comparison report.

    Cropster will auto-check your roasts for different parameters and provide immediate feedback after your roast, and at the end of your roasting day, in the production email, letting you know which roasts passed or failed.

    Relative Goals

    Relative goals are dynamic and allow you to set goals based on your Reference Curve or Profile. 

    Relative goals automatically adapt according to the Reference Curve set.


    Meet the reference

    By following the steps below, you can create a new Meet the reference goal:

    1. From the Select goal dropdown menu, choose the option Meet the reference.
    2. Mark the categories that you wish to track, then enter the preferred acceptable range for your goal in the Allowed range field. 
    3. Using the Lower range and Upper range fields, the range can be skewed in either direction.

    Absolute Goals

    Absolute goals are static goals you can set for Profiles, and the defined ranges will not change with your Reference Curve. 


    By following the steps below, you can create a new Absolute Goal:

    1. From the Select Goal drop-down menu, choose the category that you wish to track.
    2. By using the Lower boundary and Upper boundary fields, you can specify the boundaries for the goal's acceptable range.
