You generally don't want to use freshly roasted coffee anyway. It ideally gets some time to de-gas.
18 days, though, is towards the tail end of what you'd want.

- OJFord 3y agoSure, but something like mail order 'freshly roasted' within your local country accounts for that and you're good to go; if I come back to a bag that's 18d post-roast from holiday or something I'll definitely taste the difference from the 2-3d at which I'd typically receive it. (Not in a good way.) Paying the surely enormous premium for roasted-in-France and zero-emission-sailboat-delivered coffee in NYC just doesn't make any sense to me.
