Every roast, rating, and bag of greens you log builds into something bigger. Reports turns that history into a dashboard, a “what to roast next” list, quality and cup-score summaries, and inventory and cost reports — with print buttons and CSV export when you want it on paper or in a spreadsheet.
You've been faithfully logging roasts for months. Somewhere in that pile of sessions is the answer to real questions — am I actually getting better? Which coffee should I roast next? What is a pound of my roasted coffee really costing me? Scrolling back through history one roast at a time won't tell you.
Reports reads the whole pile at once. It shows your trends, ranks your green stock by what's worth roasting today, works out what your roasted coffee costs, and flags gaps in your logs so the answers stay trustworthy. No extra data entry — it all comes from what you've already recorded.
Open Reports from the main menu and pick a tab. Each tab answers a different question: Overview is the at-a-glance dashboard; Roast Next ranks your green coffee by what's worth roasting today; Quality tracks your Roast Quality Score; Ratings sums up your cup scores; Inventory covers purchases, aging, use order, and storage; Cost does the money math; Curves (Science mode) shows a roast's temperature curve; and Export gets your data out. The reports build themselves from what you've already logged.
What's free and what needs Home: the Overview dashboard and CSV data export are free for everyone. The other reports and the print buttons are part of RoastSource Home. You can use all of them during your 30-day trial, so you'll see exactly what Home adds.
Reports is on the main menu in all three display modes. What changes is how many tabs you see.
Reports is organized into tabs across the top. Tap the star in the header to show only the reports you've marked as favorites.
| Tab | Reports in Home | Modes |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | Dashboard: roasting activity, quality trend, inventory health (free) | All |
| Roast Next | Your green stock ranked by what's worth roasting today | All |
| Quality | Score Trend, DTR Precision, Weight Loss, Insights, Strengths | Journey, Science |
| Ratings | Summary, Charts, Insights | Journey, Science |
| Inventory | Purchases, Aging, Use Order, Roast Match, Storage, Data Quality (plus Drift Check in Science) | All |
| Cost | Cost Overview, Per-Cup Cost | Journey, Science |
| Curves | One roast's temperature curve and milestones at a time | Science |
| Export | CSV export (free) and print-ready reports | Journey, Science |
In Craft mode, the Quality, Ratings, Cost, and Export tabs appear when you tap “Discover more features” on the main menu.
The Overview is a summary, not the whole story. When a number surprises you, hop to the matching tab for the detail behind it.
The ranking is a nudge, not an order. If you're in the mood for something else, roast it — the list will still be there next time.
Don't chase a perfect 100 on every batch — the score is a coach, not a judge. A slowly rising line over months is the real win. If a low score produced a cup you loved, trust the cup and note what you did.
Summaries get meaningful with volume — a coffee rated once isn't a pattern yet.
These reports are only as current as your logs. Pair this tab with your ratings when deciding what to reorder — restock what you actually love.
The math is only as good as the purchase prices in your Inventory — enter the cost when you log a new bag. The Data Quality report flags coffees that are missing a price.
Curves come from temperatures logged during roasting, so a probe or regular manual readings make a richer picture. Home shows one roast at a time.
A few gaps won't break your trends, but systematic ones will. Treat this report as a nudge, not homework.
CSV export means your roasting data is never locked in — it's yours to analyze, back up, or share.
