That's not quite true. Most beans should be given at least 24 hours rest after roast. Many African varietals need 48. That's the time it takes for CO2 in the beans to degas.
- dreamfactory 13y agoI don't mean after roast (whole beans should be good for a couple of weeks). The author had ground his beans 4 days previous to the test.
- Schwolop 13y agoI stopped reading the article after he admitted that part. What a waste of a setup to ruin the experiment with a completely pointless test.
- saryant 13y agoAh, you're right. I read too fast.
- stephen_g 13y agoI usually try to use my beans within two weeks (and after around four days resting period) after roasting. But we have pretty bad humidity here so maybe you could keep it longer elsewhere. As for after grinding - you can't really expect it to produce a decent extraction even _ten minutes_ after grinding.
