Artisan

Artisan is a specialized software tool designed for coffee roasters to monitor, analyze, and control the roasting process. It connects to roasting machines via various hardware interfaces to capture real-time data such as bean temperature, environmental temperature, and rate of rise. The application generates live graphs that visualize these metrics, allowing roasters to track the progression of a roast against a pre-defined profile or a previous batch. This data-driven approach helps in maintaining consistency across different roasting sessions.

Beyond simple monitoring, the software includes features for event logging, such as marking the first crack or color changes during the roast. It supports the automation of roasting profiles by sending commands to connected hardware controllers. The application is designed for use on Linux systems and provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing roasting logs, exporting data for further analysis, and refining roasting techniques based on historical performance metrics.
