The M-BASIC II Agtron Process Analyzer
The M-BASIC II is an abridged spectrophotometer designed specifically to address the special requirements associated with evaluating and quantifying the roast of whole bean and ground coffee.
Unlike general "color" instruments, the M-BASIC II operates in the near-infrared energy band where the highest spectral reflectance activity occurs as a function of degree of roast.
Operation
The resolution and accuracy of this coffee roast analyzer provides previously unobtainable quantification of the roasting process. With this type of high resolution information, it is now possible to re-define roasting process parameters, greatly improve product consistency, quality and yield.
