RoastLog is cloud-based roast production management software for specialty coffee roasters. It is designed to help growing roasting businesses maintain roast quality and consistency as they scale. Rather than simply logging roast curves, it connects green coffee inventory, samples, cupping, equipment maintenance, deliveries, and reporting, making it a good replacement for scattered spreadsheets and single-purpose curve logging tools.
On the roasting side, RoastLog can automatically record time/temperature curves, display Rate-of-Rise in real time, and support reference curve overlays, event logging, and sensory notes, making it easier to reproduce an optimized flavor profile. For production operations, it covers green coffee inventory, contracted coffee, arrival inspections, low-stock alerts, bean usage, costs, inventory locations, and historical roast reports. For quality management, it provides sample management, physical evaluation and grading, online cupping forms, custom cupping forms, and SCA cupping forms. Team features include multi-user access, collaborative sharing, and role-based permissions, with the Scale plan offering more complete permission controls.
The product uses a subscription model: Starter is $129/month, Growth is $249/month, and Scale is $499/month; annual billing saves nearly 20%. All plans include a 30-day free trial and a 90-day money-back guarantee, and users can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. RoastLog explicitly states that it does not charge extra based on the number of roasters or roast volume. RoastLog is a web-based cloud system that supports Mac, Windows, Chromebook, and iPad, and can connect to a data bridge/data logger via USB or Bluetooth.
On security, the materials mention login authorization, role-based permissions, encrypted transmission, secure cloud storage, regular vulnerability scans, dual-redundant databases, and snapshots uploaded to Amazon S3 every 3 hours; payments are processed through a PCI-compliant system. However, certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance are not disclosed. Integrations are mainly hardware-focused: it is compatible with Phidgets data loggers, RoastLog Data Bridge, mainstream roasting equipment, thermocouples, and RTDs. Public materials do not provide API information. Support channels include help articles, email, in-app chat, phone, and video chat.
Its strengths are its strong industry focus and ability to manage roasting, purchasing, inventory, and quality control in one place. Pricing is transparent, the trial policy is friendly, and it is well suited to expansion across multiple roasters and multiple locations. The drawbacks are that the price is relatively high for small roasters or home users, it depends on internet access, and it lacks a public API and more complete enterprise compliance disclosures. It is best suited to specialty coffee roasters with stable production who need to improve consistency and operational visibility.
The source materials do not provide information on mainland China access, RMB payments, or localization, so access status is unknown. Payment mainly relies on credit cards, and procurement by Chinese companies may require additional procedures. In terms of alternatives, the text directly mentions Artisan and Cropster; if used in China, network stability, hardware compatibility, and after-sales responsiveness should also be tested in practice.
