Built by roasters, for roasters

Every batch, a little closer to perfect.

We roast coffee for a living, and we were tired of chasing our best batches with notebooks and guesswork. So we built Firstcrack to track, tweak, and repeat the roasts we love, and now we're building it with the community.

Events Curve Notes History

We're roasters, not just developers.

We run our own roastery. We've burned batches we loved, written down temps on scraps of paper, and tried to remember what we did differently last Tuesday. Sound familiar?

Firstcrack exists because we lived this problem. We built the tool we needed, and now we want other roasters to help us shape it. Your feedback, your workflows, your roast styles, that's what makes this better for everyone.

This isn't about replacing your craft. It's about giving you a tool that supports the way you already roast, so every batch is a little more consistent, and a little less stressful.

Real people behind every reply

We're a small team and we actually care. Every message, every question, every bug report, we read it all, and we reply to everyone. Seriously.

Got a question? A suggestion? Something broken? We reply to every single message, usually within a few hours. We're building this with you, not just for you.

A few things worth knowing

How much does this cost?

One plan, no maze: $20/month after a free 30-day trial. The first 100 people who join lock in $10/month for their first six months. No hidden fees, no surprise upsells.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Sign up with just your email, no credit card required. You get the full 30-day trial, and we'll never charge you unless you decide to keep going.

What happens after my free trial?

Like it? You'll move to $20/month, or $10/month if you're one of our first 100. Not for you? Cancel anytime before your trial ends and you won't be charged a thing.

Who's this actually for?

Home roasters, small and micro commercial roasters, coffee shops that roast their own beans, and anyone who wants consistent, repeatable results batch after batch. If you roast coffee, this is for you.

What equipment do I need?

Just your roaster and a way to log temperature data. Firstcrack works with most setups, we'll help you get connected when you sign up.

How do I get started?

Hit "Start free," enter your email, and you're in. No sales calls, no lengthy forms. We'll guide you through the rest, and we're always a message away if you need help.
