Kaffelogic Connect Data Logging and Crack Marking

This page collects community notes about Kaffelogic Connect-style data logging, USB or built-in storage, and manual roast event marking.

Live charting versus Artisan

One user reported that it looked like they could not live-chart roast data in the same way as Artisan, and therefore expected to manually mark first crack and use a development timer before dropping the roast. Treat this as an individual user observation rather than verified software behavior. source

Marking first crack and dropping

A community member said first crack can be marked manually, possibly by pressing a button and +, though they expressed uncertainty about the exact control sequence. source

The same member advised marking first crack on the second crack sound heard, rather than waiting for a denser pattern such as “3 pops in 1 second,” which they said may not happen. source

They also described the workflow as manual: drop manually and mark crack manually. source

USB stick versus built-in memory

Community reports may differ depending on machine configuration or generation. One member warned that the USB stick should be inserted during roasting or the roast data would not be available. source

Another user later quoted text stating that the roaster had been fitted with the Kaffelogic Connect system and that the memory stick referenced in the instruction booklet was permanently installed inside the roaster. Based on that, they concluded they did not need an external USB stick. source

The same user suggested that if a machine has USB-C, it may have built-in memory, but this was presented as an inference rather than confirmed manufacturer guidance. source

Profiles and internal storage

One user said they transferred profiles to the roaster’s built-in storage. source

Practical takeaway

Check whether the specific roaster uses an external USB stick or has Kaffelogic Connect/built-in memory before roasting. If unsure, verify storage behavior before relying on roast logs, and be prepared to mark first crack and drop manually. source
