WHY ROAST PEAK

Freshly roasted.
But ready to brew?

Brew too soon, and the beans may still need rest. Wait too long, and their best days can pass. Roast Peak helps you time it.

01

Track freshness.

See how your beans are progressing after roasting.

02

Know when to brew.

See your beans’ predicted peak brewing window.

03

Get a timely reminder.

A reminder before peak. Fewer bags left forgotten.

In development. Brew timing is estimated; faster resting and longer freshness are being validated.

FROM ROAST DAY TO BREW DAY

See the best days to brew.

See where your beans are now, when their peak is expected, and get a reminder before it arrives.

What does freshness tracking include?

The intended system uses pressure changes associated with CO₂ release to update an estimated 0–100% freshness level. A Weibull-based model combines degassing trends and roast profile to predict a brewing window. Planned alerts include 24 hours before predicted peak, completed vent cycles, manual-vent reminders and brewing milestones. These are guides to timing, not direct measurements of flavour.

What can I record for each coffee?
  • Bean details: name, roast date, light/medium/dark roast level, roaster, origin, notes and tags. Enter or override the roast level yourself.
  • Roast intelligence: the intended system estimates roast level from the pressure curve and adjusts the Weibull forecast to that profile. More measurements and tasting feedback will help refine calibration.
  • Venting history: each release event, its time, pressure before and after, and vented volume where available.
  • Brew journal: when you brewed, your method, perceived freshness, taste rating and notes. Feedback is intended to improve guidance and suggest similar coffees.
  • Optional research sharing: combined brewing preferences can help identify customer needs and market segments, informing future products. Sharing is off by default in the preview; no feedback is uploaded.
How does the app stay easy to use?

Simple mode shows the essentials first. A Pro toggle reveals more detail; settings let you choose a default, and the app remembers your last selection. A guided tour explains freshness, brew dates, jar controls and reminders. Resting graphs use days on the horizontal axis. The current preview is English and browser-based.

Which features are planned for later?
  • Temperature compensation — planned: adjust degassing predictions for ambient temperature and storage conditions.
  • Spectroscopy roast detection — Phase 2+: identify light, medium or dark roasts without manual entry. This is separate from the proposed pressure-curve estimate.
  • Café and roastery tools — Phase 2+: bulk jar management, inventory and freshness alerts, supply-chain API integration, batch consistency comparisons and customer taste feedback to refine guidance.

THE SCIENCE, SIMPLIFIED

Why track CO₂?
It affects how coffee brews.

Freshly roasted beans release CO₂, which affects how coffee extracts. Following that change helps estimate when your beans are ready to brew.

Illustrative only. This is a gas-release curve, not a measured freshness score or a universal brewing schedule.

02 / THE JOURNEY

Estimate when to start brewing.

As degassing slows, it adds a useful clue to the roast date and your tasting notes. Roast Peak aims to help you recognise a good time to start brewing.

A brewing window is personal to the beans and the brew.
01 / THE SIGNAL

Freshly roasted ≠ ready for every brew.

Gas escaping from the grounds can influence wetting and extraction. Resting gives that release time to settle. How long depends on the roast and your brew method.

02 / THE PATTERN

A trend tells you more than a date.

Research shows that roast level and roasting conditions affect degassing. Roast Peak aims to make your beans’ changing pattern easier to understand.

03 / THE BIGGER PICTURE

CO₂ is a clue. Taste is the goal.

Degassing and staling are different processes. Oxygen exposure, storage and brewing still matter. Roast Peak’s planned freshness percentage is a model estimate using trends and roast context; a raw CO₂ reading alone cannot measure taste.

CO₂ guides timing. Your taste has the final say.
Predictions depend on the roast, storage and brew method.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Questions about
the coffee jar.

Here’s what we know so far.

How does it know when to brew?

Pressure changes associated with CO₂ release, plus roast details, help estimate your beans’ brewing window. Predictions are being validated and should be used alongside your roaster’s advice and your taste.

Can it help beans become ready sooner?

Active degassing is designed to help CO₂ leave the beans sooner. Vacuum-sealed storage then limits oxygen exposure between brews. Timing and storage benefits are being tested.

Can I use more than one jar?

Yes. Each coffee has its own freshness timeline. Select a coffee and tap Identify jar: its built-in buzzer tells you which jar to pick up. The app preview uses sample data and sound on your phone or computer.

What happens when I open the jar?

Opening changes the gas inside. After resealing, the system needs a new measurement interval to follow your beans’ progress.

When does it launch, and what will it cost?

We’re preparing for Kickstarter. Launch date, price, specifications and delivery details will be announced when confirmed. Sign up for the launch alert and our biggest launch discount announcement. No payment is required.
