questions buyers ask

what is coffee roasting software?+

Coffee roasting software is a tool that logs roast profile data - bean temperature, environment temperature, time, gas pressure - in real time as a batch roasts, then saves that curve as a repeatable recipe. Modern platforms add cupping records, green inventory, traceability, and order management on top.

what is the best roasting software?+

Cropster is the most widely used roasting software in specialty coffee, with around 3,000 roasteries on the platform globally. Artisan is the most popular open-source alternative - free, Mac/Windows/Linux. RoastLog is the leading US independent option. The right choice depends on roastery size, integration needs, and budget.

is artisan really free?+

Yes. Artisan is open source under the GPL, free to download and use forever. You only pay for hardware connection adapters (Phidgets, Arduino, MLT) if your roaster doesn't have native USB connectivity. No subscription, no feature locks.
