Your guide to Strumenti per l’Analisi della Tostatura

  • What makes this kind of equipment useful for roasters?

    Tools like colour meters, moisture readers, particle size analysers, and refractometers give you more visibility across each stage of the roast process. They help you measure what’s happening, not just observe it. That means better decisions, more consistent results, and fewer surprises in the cup.

  • Where in the process can analysis tools help most?

    Moisture meters are useful before roasting, helping you plan charge temps and energy input. Colour meters measure the outcome of your roast and make it easier to repeat results. Density tools help assess green coffee structure, especially useful when comparing lots. Refractometers let you assess extraction and brewing performance after the coffee has been roasted. Each tool adds a layer of insight - and together, they give you more control.

  • Are these tools just for labs and big roasteries?

    Not anymore. Many of the newer devices are compact, affordable, and built for smaller setups. Even one or two tools can help serious home roasters and small pros improve consistency, fine-tune profiles, and work with more confidence.

Your questions, answered

Do I need this kind of equipment to roast good coffee?

No - but it helps. These tools give you data that’s hard to see by eye, making it easier to understand what’s working and what’s not. They’re especially useful when you’re trying to improve consistency or dial in a new profile.

What does a colour meter measure?

It gives you a numerical reading of roast level, often using a standard scale like Agtron. It’s a reliable way to compare roasts and produce more consistent roasts.

How does a moisture metre help?

It tells you how much moisture is in your green coffee. This affects how the beans absorb heat and how the roast progresses. Knowing your moisture level helps with setting charge temperature and planning your curve.

Is this gear overkill for home roasters?

Not if you're aiming for consistency. Many serious home roasters use this equipment to better understand their process and improve control. You don’t need a full lab setup - even one or two tools can make a difference.

Does analysis equipment help with green coffee selection?

It can. Tools like moisture meters and density testers give you a clearer picture of how a green lot might behave in the roaster. This helps with planning and reduces trial-and-error.
