Andreas Idl is co-founder and CEO of Cropster, whose roasting software brings greater consistency and comparability to the roasting world. In the conversation, Philipp and Andreas discuss how software was accepted for a process that is firmly rooted in a practical approach.
Andreas sees the future of coffee roasting in everyone needing to become much more efficient, as the complexity of operations and product range expansion increases. Beyond that, Cropster has global insight into the activities of roasteries and learns a lot here - and offers advice on how one could roast. We also discuss where the line between help and paternalism lies, as well as the question of whether Andreas can actually roast coffee.
