Profiling software upgrade for US Corp 3 kilo electric

[BikeNerd]

Hi all,

I am looking to get some sort of profiling software system for my us corp electric 3 kilo machine. I have been searching for them for the past few months and am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Is there a system out there that you can install new thermocouples and run a usb to your computer? I am wanting to look at a predetermined roast profile and have a guide while roasting in the future. Nothing fully automated, just a visual reference would be amazing since my machine is electric and has less control than a gas roaster. I have seen quite a few options, but not exactly sure what will work with my machine.

Thanks

If you want to purchase a great system, contact Paul Ribich from Roaster Dynamics. If you want to take a chance with a free system look at Typica. Neal Wilson designed this. Paul's system is about the best out there with great customer support. he is located in FL

Typica is nice... I personally use Artisian artisan - Visual scope for coffee roasters - Google Project Hosting

Alexlauren,

I'm looking at using artisan as well. What probe/thermometer combo are you using? I've been looking at omega's website and searching around for the most accurate combinations.

Thanks for your help,

if you are going to install a separate bean probe use a RTD. More sensitive, faster and accurate than a TC

Bikenerd... I purchased Omega's for my non-USRC roaster. You may want to see if Dan/USRC sells any type of thermocouple kit for your 3K. I'm talking to him about a gas 5K and I know its an option. Your thermocouple's will plug directly into a Amprobe TMD-55 > Laptop USB > Artisan. Works like a charm and all under $300. Once you have a profile developed that you like you can load it as 'wallpaper/background' so you can try and match. I recommend getting the thermocouples / logger and try out Artisan & Typica... both have pros/cons.
