Become a “master roaster” by creating custom roasting profiles using Sonofresco’s Advanced Definition Roasting (ADR) controller – the perfect combination to make a profitable difference in your business!
The fundamental objective of good roasting should be to reveal the best flavors of any particular coffee. This is best achieved by roasting consistently in color and time-temperature profiles designed to match the characteristics of a specific coffee. Too fast a roast gives insufficient time for flavor development. A longer, light roast allows the coffee to reveal its authentic flavors. Darker roasts develop caramelized flavors with a sweeter aftertaste, more suitable for espresso. Quick cooling following the roast helps stabilize the brightness of a coffee associated with high acidity.
Sonofresco now enables the discerning roaster to control all of these essential roasting variables while maintaining the simplicity of “push-button roasting” with its new Advanced Definition Roasting (ADR) controller.
The ADR software package provides a simple and intuitive means of designing time-temperature roasting profiles for different coffees and specifying end-of-roast temperatures using a laptop computer. Bluetooth connectivity uploads the profiles and end-of-roast temperatures to the Sonofresco roaster control and monitors the roast profile on the computer screen. The simple push-button control provides consistency from roast to roast.
