Dear Jonas, dear Jacob,
First, I want to commend you and your team at Aillio for your remarkable work with the Bullet R2 and R2 Pro. They are truly innovative tools that continue to push the boundaries of coffee roasting technology.
However, I am reaching out to kindly request your support in implementing an integration between Artisan Roasterscope and the new Bullet models. While RoasTime is undoubtedly a fantastic platform, many professional roasters rely on other roast profiling tools, and Artisan remains one of the most prominent and widely used in this space - Including me, who just ordered an R2 Pro and is eagerly awaiting delivery.
You may recall that Marko had a conversation with you a couple of years ago, during which the promise of an open API was discussed. While I understand that such implementations take time and resources, it would mean a great deal to the community if this could now be realized. I am confident this was an unintended delay, but I wanted to gently remind you of that commitment.
Providing roasters with the choice to use Artisan would not only showcase Aillio’s commitment to flexibility but also support the thriving diversity in our roasting ecosystem. As one of the most successful open-source projects in our specialized field, Artisan holds significant importance for many professional users.
Beyond offering choice, enabling Artisan to capture diagnostic data—similar to how RoasTime currently does—could also prove beneficial for debugging and support purposes. Ensuring that these diagnostics are accessible would allow Aillio to maintain the same high level of customer service while offering customers additional freedom in their preferred tools.
This initiative is not about diverting users from RoasTime but rather about fostering inclusivity and diversity in the community—values that resonate deeply with roasters worldwide.
Thank you so much in advance for considering this request. It would be wonderful to see some movement on this front and, with your support, further strengthen the connection between Aillio and the broader roasting community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s any way I can assist in making this a reality.
