We have observed several roast curves where the temperature readings temporarily drop during the roasting process, only to resume as if no interruption occurred.

This results in a strange peak and valley in the RoR (Rate of Rise):

 

This can happen for a few reasons:

  • Your computer has gone to sleep during a roast (most common)
  • Your data bridge is too hot
  • Your USB is removed from the roaster
  • Your computer is overheating
  • If your computer is going to sleep during a roast, you can change the display time out time to something longer than your roast time.
