Why use a Reference Curve?

Note the following details:

The terms "Reference Roast" and "Reference Curve" are interchangeable.
Before creating a Reference Curve, we recommend creating a Profile for all your Recipes.

A Reference Curve is essential for achieving consistency in roasting, providing a guiding framework throughout the process.

We recommend setting a Reference Curve for each of the Profiles you create.

The Reference Curve is displayed as a grey line in the Roasting Intelligence (RI) interface, guiding you throughout the roasting process.
