Burge Coffee is a digital platform and resource hub designed for home coffee roasters and specialty coffee enthusiasts. The primary function of the tool is to provide educational content and technical utilities for tracking the coffee roasting and brewing process. It offers a suite of field guides that cover the technical stages of coffee production, including green bean selection, storage requirements, and the chemical transitions that occur during the roasting sequence such as drying, yellowing, and the first crack. The platform includes several browser based tools for data logging and quality control. Users can access a roast log to record variables such as bean origin, charge temperature, and development time. Additionally, the site provides a cupping log for sensory analysis and a brew diary for documenting specific extraction methods. These tools are built to run locally within the user's web browser, meaning no account creation is required and data is stored on the user's own device rather than on external servers. Beyond technical tools, Burge Coffee maintains a community powered directory of small scale coffee roasters. This map allows users to locate and contribute information about independent roasting operations globally. The educational component of the site focuses on comparative studies of coffee origins, such as the flavor profiles of Ethiopian versus Colombian beans, and practical advice on maintaining the integrity of green coffee through controlled temperature and humidity. The typical workflow for a user involves utilizing the field guides to learn roasting techniques, followed by using the digital logs to track the progression of their own batches. The service is designed for individuals who seek to transition from coffee consumers to craftspeople by managing the variables of the roasting process. All features are provided as a free resource with a focus on data privacy and local storage.
