My roast profile for the espresso blend I've been using lately is shaping up nicely:

As before, I'm trying to get the blue line (DeltaBT) to shoot up then steadily decrease over time, which is shaping up OK here. Development time (labeled 22.8%) is targeted to be between 20-25% which is looking good. The dash-dot black line is a natural log curve which fits my profile nicely through the second two stages of the roast (Maillard and development). There's been some suggestion that this is a good thing but it's mostly just a guess so who knows. It'll be a few days before this batch hits the grinder but the numbers look great, the beans appear uniformly roasted, and it smells fantastic.

I've also have the "alarms" program nearly fully automated at this point. When I start up a new roast it turns everything on, heats up the unit, then starts logging data near the charge and alerts me to get ready. It alerts again for me to dump beans into the thing ("charge" the roaster), then it's on full autopilot to guide the roast from there on. When it hits a BT of 390°F* it'll open the ejection door, dump the beans into the cooling tray, start the fans to cool the drum and to pull air through the beans in the tray, and starts the stirring arms for cooling. 5 minutes later it stops that, and keeps running the fans until it reaches 150°F or until I cycle the thing to start another roast.

There is always a chance of a bean fire and other calamities (most of which I've experienced), so it's not really a fire-and-forget operation, but this approach both simplifies the process and helps ensure consistent results batch after batch.

*I have reason to believe my BT probe is reading ~20°F low, which I can fix in the software but it doesn't really matter so I just record the data as-is and adjust my interpretation accordingly.

My coffee spergin has gotten completely out of hand. This latest attempt is so godawful dumb that I don't even want to post it here, so I'll just link to it for everyone to make fun of.

The desk frame is a GeekDesk Max lift, then I designed the surface/rack units/monitor risers in sketchup to fit in the room and cut them from maple butcherblock
