Artisan v2.4.6

 

Artisan v2.4.6 adds structures to calculate energy consumption and CO₂ production per roast.

Tracking Energy Consumption & CO2 Production in Coffee Roasting

Artisan v2.4.6 introduces a new capability to estimate the energy consumption and CO2 emission for every batch roasted with Artisan.  This first-of-the-kind calculator uses logged burner settings, roaster machine specific specification data and energy source information to provide a consistent and methodical view of the roast machine’s performance.  

Artisan v2.4.4

This version improves some established automation features to better support the control of preheat and between batches protocols.

Supporting Between Batch Protocols

Here is our response to Scott Rao's call out to makers of roasting software to offer structures supporting the tracing and managing of BBPs (Between Batch Protocols) and warmups.

Blend Replacements

It happens that you run out of certain green beans. Often those beans can just be replaced by another one. However, if those beans play a part in one of your blends you might want to replace them with comparable beans without changing the recipe otherwise. Especially, if you just received the new harvest of that very same bean. Here we assume that you are managing your green bean inventory with artisan.plus.

Artisan v2.4.2

 

The focus of this release is on extending the one-click configurations to many more machines.

How to Create the Perfect Background Curve

A background curve can act like a set of rails to ride while roasting. Roast masters often use a successful past roast as a reference in the background to follow and reproduce. This can be very helpful. Frequently the roasts available to use as a reference suffer from imperfections like RoR curves that show dips, crashes and flicks. A question we are asked is how to use an existing curve to create a "perfect" reference curve, a curve with straight line declining RoR using the event times and temperatures from an existing curve. This article will show one method to create a such a reference background curve.
