Hey everyone — welcome to the RoastSource Community.
I'm Chris, the developer behind RoastSource. I built this app because I kept losing track of what worked when I roasted. Notebooks, spreadsheets, phone notes — I tried everything. I'd nail a roast and then couldn't repeat it. So I built the tool I wished existed.
This forum is the place to connect with other home roasters, share what you're learning, ask questions, and help shape where the app goes next. Whether you're roasting your first batch or your five-hundredth, you belong here.
What you'll find
- Getting Started — first roast guides, setup help, beginner Q&A
- Roast Profiles — share and compare profiles by roaster, bean, and roast level
- Equipment — reviews, mods, tips for specific roasters
- Feature Requests — tell us what you want built next (and upvote others' ideas)
- Show & Tell — describe your setup, your best roast, your workspace
- Community Challenges — monthly roast-alongs where we all roast the same coffee and compare notes
How this community works
This isn't a support ticket system — it's a conversation. Post what you're working on, what went wrong, what went right. Reply to other people's posts. The more specific you are (bean, roaster, charge temp, times, what you tasted), the more useful the discussion becomes for everyone.
A few ground rules:
- Be helpful — we're all here to roast better coffee
- Be respectful — disagree with ideas, not people
- Stay on topic — coffee roasting, equipment, sourcing, and RoastSource
- No spam or empty self-promotion
I read every post and reply regularly. This is a small community right now, and that's a feature, not a bug. The conversations here will directly influence what gets built into the app.
Welcome aboard. Grab a coffee and introduce yourself.
— Chris
