  • Infrastructure
    The infrastructure upon which Artisan is built has been upgraded. Consequently, older platforms such as Windows 8 and macOS 10.13 are no longer supported. On the positive side, this update enhances performance and stability while also resulting in smaller downloads.
  • User Interface
    Artisan 4 introduces several new shortcuts, but it also introduces UI modes that simplify and improve usability, particularly in production environments.
  • Automation
    The integrated PID controller was generalized to a two-degree-of-freedom PID controller, adding incorporated gain scheduling, bumpless transfer, and additional filtering capabilities.
  • Hardware Support
    Support for the RoastSee NEXT live color reader from Lebrew and the Acaia Pyxis Black scale has been added.
  • Roastetta A new online repository for Artisan Scope roast profiles has been established by Josh, which lets you upload, view, share and track roast charts.

We stay respectful, open and cooperative without the need for Non-Disclosure Agreements!
For sure.

Happy Roasting!

Another significant update for Artisan in terms of features and technical advances.

  • Hardware Support
    Support for a list of machines has been added or updated, including Kraffe, Berto, Nordic, Prisma, Cogen, Easyster, Toper, Sweet Coffee Italia, and Joper. Additionally, popular devices like the Shelly energy meters are now supported.
  • Roast Scheduling
    The scheduler now permits modifications after a roast session has commenced, provides an estimate for the remaining roast duration, and its Batch Manager indicates states using the COSMO scales’ built-in color LEDs.
  • Cropster Profile Import by drag-and-drop
    Cropster’s roast profiles exported as XLS files can now be imported by simply dropping them into the profile window.
  • Fermentation
    Recordings can now span several days, with a sampling interval ranging from 0.1 seconds to over 16 hours. This makes Artisan suitable for controlling coffee fermentation experiments conducted at coffee origins.
  • Industrial PID Algorithm
    The integrated PID now comes with several advanced features, including Integral Windup Prevention (IWP), derivative on measurement calculation (DoM), measurement discontinuity detection, derivative limiting, and enhanced setpoint change detection to prevent derivative kicks and spikes.
  • Captured BBP Metrics
    Roast operators employ a Between Batch Protocol (BBP) to insure every roast batch begins with the same thermal state. This version captures metrics to help the roast operator observe and manage their BBP. For details, refer to our separate post on Between Batch Protocol Statistics.
  • Revised Custom Buttons Mechanism
    Custom button handling has been updated. For more information, refer to Button Layouts and Hidden Buttons.
  • Localizations
    With the assistance of some excellent individuals, the Asian (Chinese and Korean) and Spanish localizations have been significantly enhanced. Additionally, Czech localization has been incorporated, and the support for Asian and Arabic default fonts has been improved as well.

Happy Roasting!

We presented the first scale exclusively designed for coffee roasters, the COSMO (10kg and 100kg) from Acaia. It integrates with the revolutionary Batch Manager released with Artisan v3.2.

Initially planned as a minor release to address a few specific issues that have been reported, things took an unexpected turn. In the end, we added several useful features to our so-called “free-but-limited approach.”

Happy Roasting!
