I have been working on a coffee roasting log plugin for WordPress. The idea of this software plugin is to log coffee roasting.

Here is a sample

Sample Coffee Plot

If you float your cursor over a point it will tell you the time and temp of that point.

To put this in I just installed the plug in and in this post put

[ROAST:6.5:72,74,89,97,119,145,158,181,204,220,242,244,270,289,289,287,277,262,250]
[COFFEE:Mexican FTO Decaf]

The syntax is
[ROAST: minutes_roasted : temp_at_0, temp_at_.5, temp_at_1.0,…]
[COFFEE:name of the coffee]

Now I am roasting with a Caffe Rosto CR-100 and measuring the temperature through the glass lid with an infrared sensor so I know my readings are low but as long as they are consistent I am OK with that.

Download from my Webmaster in Residence site

Now I can post my roast logs on my site. On the balance of the post I can put any other information that I want.

Restrictions:

  1. The plugin only handles one plot per page/post.
  2. In IE8 must turn on compatibility mode to see the graph
