5/2/2024 0 Comments Artisan sketchup download![]() It is definitely a learning curve that won’t appeal to everyone. I am having good use from the Artisan 2.0.0 roasting software thus far. It could appeal more to someone that is running a coffee business that is operating from home or a brick-n-mortar shop. But, I can’t justify paying for a fee-based inventory solution for a home-roast, self consumption environment. The Inventory Management application is pretty thorough and it works with the Artisan Roaster software. The Professional pricing is substantially higher. The Home-roaster pricing ranges (in Euro dollars) from $10/month to $99 for the annual service (with 3 and 6-month pricing flavors as well). After that, it becomes a subscription service that has differing prices depending upon whether you are a Home-roaster or Professional. There is also a 3-month free period in the Store, but you do have to go through their purchase process to get that offer. There is (by default) a 1-month free trial that shows up on the very bottom right of your user screen. One important discovery after I got into the artisan+ site. Marko says that they got everyone (that applied for an account) “registered” and I can now access the website/application. Just an update about the new Artisan+ Inventory management that connects to the Artisan Roaster Scope software. I’ve yet to run a full test-roast through ver 2.0 and probably will get to that sometime this weekend. My roast results using Artisan 1.62 have been working just fine. Wait until next week to register for the Artisan+ site due to the problem they will be addressing when Marko returns from the show. That location (for me) is a preferred spot to sample and get an advance look at overall ET. I’m now able to sample the Bullet’s exhaust temp that exits the Drum through a tweaked version of the Bullet’s Chute-plug. Whatever improvements they made has allowed me to finally get my Omega HH506RA Datalogger added as an Extra device. I like that Artisan 2.0 is designed to communicate with Artisan+ and this statement in particular: “All roast profiles stay local just with you and are not shared with the - I just got Artisan 2.0 configured and upgraded today from ver 1.62. I’ve always had my own custom Excel Inventory of my coffees, so no worries about the wait. So, it looks like they are aware of the activation issue with Artisan+ and will be addressing it next week. All will receive a separate message from us.” He said…“ We are at the World of Coffee show in Berlin right now and will activate your accounts next week. I got an email response from Marko today. Just learning to use it as I go and looking forward to my next roast session with the new Artisan 2.0.0 version. I’m more in the “techy” camp and by no means fluent in Artisan. It will either “tweak your techie-melon” or cause you to feel it is too complex. Artisan is a very good tool that offers a myriad of user designated customizations and devices. I always thought RoasTime was fairly well written and might consider going back to it if it ever breaks free of those “cloud” requirements. Artisan doesn’t force the user into those corners with either the roasting software or with the new cloud-based Inventory Management tool. After it became clear that Aillio wasn’t going to change that requirement, I decided to move away from RoasTime. I’m also not a fan of having every roast session posted to the cloud whether it was a good result or not. I’m not “married” to Artisan, but decided to switch because I’m not forced into the “Aillio cloud” to have analysis access on my roast records. I too am new to having a roaster that can take advantage of this kind of software. I’ve been using Artisan for several weeks for my Bullet roasts.
