I’ve found the sensor incredibly helpful for identifying the exact peak of my starter, especially since my old starter jar has a wide surface area that makes it harder to judge visually. It’s helped me feed peak to peak more consistently, which has noticeably improved my starter's activity.

Testimonials
Hear first-hand from our customers.
The Crustello device really takes all the guesswork out of the bulk rise process. I baked two loaves on different days with very different temperatures and rise times, and today’s dough doubled more than an hour faster. Thanks to the notification, I was able to get it into the fridge before it became over-proofed.
The sensor is actually doing an impressive job overall. As bakers, we’ve never really had access to this level of detailed, data-driven insight into dough fermentation before, and having that kind of information available feels like a huge step forward for home baking.
