Roasted demand and expected loss
Use the filled example first. Then replace each field with a measured value or your best current estimate.
Step 1Answer one question at a time. Your example values stay available.
Important limit
Use loss history by coffee and roast profile.
Density, moisture, processing, screen size, roast degree, equipment, batch size, sorting, samples, defects, and age change yield. Reconcile actual green input and roasted output for each production lot.

How to use the Coffee Roast Loss & Green Purchase Planner
Convert roasted demand into supplier bags and purchase cost. The calculator runs privately in your browser and is designed to make the assumptions behind the answer visible.
What to have ready
Bring measured starting and finished weights, temperatures or readings, validated process assumptions, and the unit used in your production record.
Key inputs: Sellable roasted coffee needed; Expected roast weight loss; Post-roast sorting and handling loss; Cupping, samples, and calibration; Green coffee reserve.
How to use the result
Use the output to plan a trial or reconcile yield. Release decisions still require your validated process, calibrated measurements, and food-safety controls.
