Plan Details

Click any row in the Plans table to open its detail view. This is where you see the full history for that plan, manage its reference curve, and start a new roast.

Stats

The top of the page shows the plan’s targets under Roast Weights:

Stat	What it shows
Input Weight	The charge weight the plan targets
Output Weight	The roasted weight the plan expects, worked out from the input weight and the target loss
Weight Loss %	The plan’s target weight loss

Beside the Reference Curve, the milestones are read from the reference roast:

Stat	What it shows
Charge temp	Bean temperature at Charge
Turning point temp	Temperature at the turning point
Drop temp	Bean temperature at Drop
Duration	Time from Charge to Drop
Dry end	Time of dry end, from Charge
First crack	Time of first crack, from Charge
DTR %	Development time ratio
Green Coffee	The Coffee Line assigned to this plan, or the blend composition if the plan uses multiple Coffee Lines

These milestones update automatically when you change the reference.

Below them, Production sums up the plan’s Batches: how many roasts, the roasted weight, the average weight loss, and the green coffee charged per week over the last 28 days.

Reference curve

The reference curve is the target overlay shown on the live display during a roast. Below the stats you’ll see:

A temperature chart if a reference curve is set
A prompt to set one if none exists

Set a reference from a previous batch

In the Roast Batches table at the bottom of the page, click the star icon on any batch row to promote it to the reference curve. The star marks the current reference. Click a different batch’s star to switch, or the filled star to clear it.

Deleting the reference roast leaves the plan without one. Rostoc says so before you confirm the delete; the plan keeps its targets until you set another reference.

Batches table

Each row in the Roast Batches table represents a single roast against this plan. The table lists every roast of the plan. Clicking a row opens the full Batch detail → page.

Column	What it shows
★	Star to set this batch as the reference curve. Filled star = current reference.
Date	Date and time the roast started
Plan	Plan the batch is linked to
Roast Batch	The Batch code, marked imported for a roast brought in from another app
Amount	Charge weight (input weight)
Duration	Time from Charge to Drop
Drop	Bean temperature at drop

Import a reference curve

Open the … menu at the right end of the page header to load a curve from an external file. Its options sit under Import reference:

Import from Cropster — import a roast exported from Cropster as an .xls file
Import from Artisan — import an .alog file from Artisan

The imported curve is set as the reference immediately. It keeps the name and date the file gives the roast, brings the file’s charge and drop weights, and joins the Plan’s Batches marked imported. If the file marks no Drop, the roast ends at a Drop at the curve’s last reading. An imported roast is history from the other app, not a roast recorded in Rostoc: it does not count toward your free trial or monthly limit, the setup checklist, the plan’s last-roasted date, or the figures on Home.

A roast exported from Rostoc is not an Artisan file, and importing one is refused by name. To use one of this plan’s roasts as the reference, star it in the table above instead.

Switching from another app? The Artisan and Cropster switching guides cover what carries over.

Notes

Below the reference curve section you’ll find the plan’s notes. These are the pre-roast notes entered when the plan was created or last edited.

Start a roast

Click Open in Roast Studio to begin a Batch against this plan. The Reference Curve will be visible in Roast Studio.

A plan does not need a Machine. If it has none, Rostoc roasts on the Machine that is connected (or your default, or your only one) and opens Roast Studio straight away. If the plan names a Machine and that Machine is connected, or nothing is connected yet, Rostoc connects it and opens Roast Studio. If the plan names one Machine while a different one is connected, Rostoc asks: Roast on the connected Machine keeps the live connection, Switch to the plan’s Machine disconnects it and connects the plan’s. Tick Make … this plan’s machine to save the connected Machine on the plan so you are not asked again.

Edit plan details

Click Edit Plan to update the name, Coffee Line, charge weight, weight loss target, machine, or notes. Changes take effect immediately for all future batches — they do not alter completed batch records.

Plans can also be set up as blends. In that case, choose multiple Coffee Lines and set a percentage for each one. The percentages must add up to 100%.

In edit mode you can also click Save as new plan to duplicate the plan with your current edits rather than overwriting the original.

Delete a plan

Click Edit Plan, then Delete at the bottom of the dialog. You’ll be asked to confirm. Deleting a plan removes it from the list and clears references from associated batches — the Batches themselves are not deleted.
