About

Roast IQ was founded in Brunswick East, Victoria in 2014 after finding the crossover between inventory, roast profiling and roast profile modulation to be either largely industrial or fairly expensive and requiring a lot of manipulation to get the basics.

Roast IQ is a combination of a web interface for coffee roasters and a hardware solution for modulating gas/electric modulators replicate or drive roast profiles.  There is an extensive sample management suite and reporting/inventory management to help with planning and purchasing of coffee. 

The original hardware solution - developed by Brunswick locals Signal Audio - has progressed from RCI1 through to the latest incarnation - RCI3. 

RCI2 & 3 support a basic interface with Loring coffee roasters allowing roast profile recording (but no modulation control).

We have now expanded our hardware to include the Phidget range of controllers including a modulation solution.

Roast IQ was founded and developed at Padre Coffee by founder Marinus Jansen and Head of Coffee Fay Kamanis. Both no longer have any involvement in Padre Coffee but continue to work in the coffee industry on various projects including Roast IQ.
