Visual scope for coffee roasters
WARNING: pre-release builds may not work. Use at your own risk.
Artisan is a software that helps coffee roasters record, analyze, and control roast profiles. When used in conjunction with a thermocouple data logger or a proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller), this software can automate the creation of roasting metrics to help make decisions that influence the final coffee flavor.
This software is open-source and absolutely free to use, also in commercial settings.
If you think Artisan is useful to you, contribute financially to its further development. Send any amount via my PayPal.Me page. Thanks!
Home roasting enthusiasts often donate 10-100.- (in $ or EUR), while small roasting businesses and consultant that use Artisan in their daily work tend to donate 100-300.- (in $ or EUR). For extra tech support, please inquire.
