Roasting coffee with Artisan data logging software can help improve a home coffee roaster's ability to craft their roast profile. In this video, I demonstrate how I use Artisan to help me target times and temperatures to roast some great tasting coffee. Roasting coffee with Artisan will not only help me during my roast, but can be saved and recalled later to compare and analyze other roasts. It can also be used as a log or journal for roasting details or cupping results.

Artisan is a free/opensource software you can downloaded here https://artisan-scope.org/about/

There are a couple of other videos I made that will help add context to this video. I would encourage you to watch:

I roast coffee on my Mill City 500 gram commercial coffee roaster every week. I also use a Behmor and a hot air popcorn popper to roast some great coffee. Join me as we roast, brew and cup coffee every week at home.
