6 Tech

Talking about machines, it does not matter if it is roasting
machine, espresso machine or a drip coffee maker: all the
technologies going more and more user friendly. Simple
example: RØST sample roaster is an innovative 100-gram
roaster that blends fluid bed and drum technology for the greatest con-
sistency in roasting also comes with an app, allowing users to record,
monitor, and control the roaster via Wi-Fi. 3TEMP also presented a new
brewing machine fully controlled by a tabled, that goes with the machine.
Nowadays phone is a man’s best friend, all the innovations related to
controlling machines via your personal gadget, which makes it easier to
brew, roast and even control the whole chain from bean to cup with the
help of your best friend especially when it comes to the whole process
quality: Cropster came up with an idea to track and write down everything
about the coffee you work with, literally from bean to cup-in this case to
roaster- to make roasters and potential byres in the end understand what
exactly influenced beans and how roasting affected coffee after; this in-
formation is easily accessible on the website from any gadget. Seems like
technology can finally bring transparency to the whole coffee production
chain, greater automation and greater precision.
