Thanks to bean analysis for perfect roasting and quality control

 

For optimal roasting, you need as precise information about the bean you want to roast: What is the moisture content? What about the density value (i.e. how hard are the beans)? With this knowledge, you can develop a suitable roasting profile more quickly and reduce expensive roasting errors.

And after roasting? Then quality control is called for. Here too, moisture content and density are important indicators, e.g. for optimal storage.

The Lighttells MD-500 Moisture and Density Meter measures the moisture content and density of both raw and roasted coffee beans using modern sensors. In addition, it can also analyze coffee cherries and parchment coffee. The measuring process is simple and quick, and you can easily take the portable device with you. Analysis results can be stored and shared.

The Lighttells MD-500 Moisture and Density Meter is suitable for professional roasteries, individuals in coffee procurement and quality assurance, as well as ambitious home roasters.
