Batches
The Batches screen is your roast history. Every completed roast is stored here as a Batch, whether it was started from a plan or roasted without one.
What you see
Section titled “What you see”Every completed roast is stored here as a Batch, whether it was roasted against a plan or without one. The list shows your most recent roasts at the top and loads more as you scroll.
Each row shows the Batch code, the date, which Plan it was roasted against (if any), the green coffee and how much was charged, the duration from Charge to Drop, and the drop temperature. A roast with no Charge or no Drop marked shows ”—” for its duration. The … at the end of a row holds Edit batch, Print label, and the CSV, JSON and .alog exports, the same menu as on the Batch’s page.
A roast imported from another app is listed too, marked imported, with the date it was roasted. It is history from the other app, so it does not count as a roast you recorded in Rostoc.
Search, filter and sort
Section titled “Search, filter and sort”Above the list:
- Search roasts finds a roast by its Batch code, Plan, roaster, notes or coffee.
- Roast date shows the roasts between two dates.
- Plan and Coffee show only the roasts of one Plan or one coffee.
Clear Filters brings the whole list back. A line above the list says how many roasts match, and the search and filters reach every roast you have, not only the ones loaded so far. Click a column header to sort the whole list by it; the Green Coffee column does not sort.
The columns icon at the end of that line (its tooltip reads Columns) chooses which columns the list shows; Show the default columns puts them back. Your choice follows your account, so the list looks the same on every computer and in the web app. Besides the default columns you can add the Machine, roaster, drop weight, weight loss, colour, notes and more. Four milestone columns are off until you tick them: Charge (the charge temperature), and Turning point, Dry end and First crack, each timed from charge. They sort the whole list too; a roast without that milestone reads a dash and sorts last.
Open a batch
Section titled “Open a batch”Click any row to open the batch detail view for that roast.
