Do you use environmental temperature as real roast decision point?

Recently I have been discussing using environmental temperature as a roast decision point with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole workflow. I am not looking for textbook reply. I want to know whether using environmental temperature as a roast decision point gives meaningful difference once you repeat it over many cycles.

Would you keep using environmental temperature as a roast decision point in your normal process, or only for specific coffees and situations?

What helped me most was keeping short notes each time. Without notes, discussion about using environmental temperature as a roast decision point becomes memory battle and not real evaluation.

i see using environmental temperature as a roast decision point work in some place, but usually only when the notes are clear and people really compare batch by batch. if not, discussion become only feeling.

I think the bigger issue is not using environmental temperature as a roast decision point itself but whether your baseline is stable. If baseline keeps moving, then every experiment around it gives mixed signal.

From my side this helped only on certain coffees, not on every lot. When the coffee is already forgiving, using environmental temperature as a roast decision point does not change much. On difficult lots the effect is clearer.

I disagree a little with people who say using environmental temperature as a roast decision point is only a small detail. Small detail alone maybe yes, but several small details together can move the cup a lot.

Do you use environmental temperature as real roast decision point?
