RoastRite RA-720BF Big Foot – Precise Agtron Meter

RoastRite RA-720BF Big Foot – Professional Agtron measurement for your roastery

No more guessing the color. The RoastRite RA-720BF Big Foot Edition is an advanced coffee roasting analyzer that allows you to quantify your roast profile with 100% accuracy. Using near-infrared technology, it delivers lightning-fast Agtron measurements so you can ensure consistent top quality in every batch – exactly as required by SCA standards.

The "Big Foot" edition is upgraded with a larger sample plate and Area Scan Technology, making it extremely reliable. By scanning a larger surface area, measurement errors caused by small variations in beans or coffee chaff are minimized, so you always get the true picture of your roast.

"From Maillard reaction to finished roasted bean: With the RA-720BF, you get the hard data needed to win competitions and maintain customer trust."

Why choose the RA-720BF Big Foot Edition?

• Precise Agtron scale (15-150): Measures in full compliance with the Agtron Gourmet Scale. No conversion table is needed – you get the data used by professional roasters and judges worldwide.
• Area Scan Technology: The 14 cm large sample plate ensures the analyzer sees the "big picture" of your beans rather than just a small spot. This provides much higher consistency in your measurements.
• Minimal waste: You only need 15 g of ground coffee or 70 g of whole beans for an accurate reading. This saves you precious specialty beans during test roasts.
• Wireless freedom: No cables on the workbench. The rechargeable AA batteries (LSD) last up to 6 months and can easily be replaced by the user.
• Ready in 10 seconds: No long warm-up time. Turn on, measure, and continue with your production.

Industry standard in the palm of your hand

Agtron measurements are the common language in the coffee industry. RA-720BF analyzes how the coffee absorbs and reflects near-infrared light. It gives you an accurate number on the roast level, which is far more reliable than visual inspection or traditional cupping alone.

Perfect for:

• Roasteries: Document your quality and detect small deviations before they reach the customer.
• Cafés: Quality control of beans from external roasteries.
• SCA students: An indispensable tool for training and certification in Roasting and Sensory Skills.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of the "Big Foot" model? Standard analyzers often measure at a very small point. The Big Foot model uses a larger base (150 mm), which means the average color of your entire sample is measured more accurately. It eliminates "outliers" in your measurements.

Can it measure both whole beans and ground coffee? Yes, and it is recommended to measure both. The difference between the measurement on whole beans and ground coffee (also called "spread") tells you a lot about how evenly the bean is roasted from outer to inner.

How often should it be calibrated? The set includes a calibration disc. We recommend a quick calibration at each start of use to ensure maximum accuracy according to the current lighting environment and temperature.
