Frequently asked questions
What is Kaffelogic Studio?
Kaffelogic Studio is the official free desktop software for the Kaffelogic Nano roaster (Windows, macOS, Linux). It connects over USB for live roast monitoring, roast analysis, and creating or modifying roast profiles — plus device updates and configuration.
Is BrewedLate a replacement for Kaffelogic Studio?
No. BrewedLate is a companion to Studio. Studio remains the best tool for designing and editing roast profiles on your computer. BrewedLate adds web-based green bean inventory, roast batch logging, .klog storage, and AI recommendations.
What are the main limitations of Kaffelogic Studio?
Studio is desktop-only with no mobile or browser version, its curve-editing interface has a steep learning curve, and it offers no roast planning workflow, no green coffee inventory, no cellar tracking, and no way to turn past roasts into recommendations for the next one.
Can I upload .klog files to BrewedLate?
Yes. You can export .klog files from your Kaffelogic Nano 7 and upload them to BrewedLate. We store the roast curves so you can review trends, link roasts to beans, and compare batches over time.
Does BrewedLate work on mobile at the roaster?
Yes. It runs in the browser on phones and tablets — useful when you are standing at the roaster with a checklist. Kaffelogic Studio has no mobile or Android version.
Do I need a Kaffelogic Nano 7 to use BrewedLate?
No. BrewedLate works with any home roasting workflow. Kaffelogic Nano 7 owners get the added benefit of .klog upload and roast curve analysis, but you can log batches from any roaster manually.
Can I edit roast profiles in BrewedLate?
Not yet. Profile editing is still best done in Kaffelogic Studio. BrewedLate focuses on inventory, batch logging, recipe publishing, and AI recommendations to help you choose the right profile and roast level.
Is BrewedLate free for home roasters?
Yes. BrewedLate has a free tier for home roasters that covers green inventory, batch logging, .klog uploads, and basic AI recommendations. Paid tiers are available for advanced features.
How do Kaffelogic Studio and BrewedLate work together?
Design or tweak profiles in Kaffelogic Studio, run the roast on your Nano 7, export the .klog file, then upload it to BrewedLate. BrewedLate links the roast to your green coffee and uses your history to suggest the next profile and roast level.
