Definition

The measured temperature at the moment roasted coffee is released from the drum or roasting chamber.

Why it matters

It is a repeatable end-point reference when interpreted with roast time, color, sensory results and machine conditions.

How it is measured or recognized

Record the same temperature channel at the exact drop event.

Roasting tip

Never compare drop temperatures across different machines or probe setups as if they were universal roast levels.
