I recommend listening to this episode of Pragmatic http://techdistortion.com/podcasts/pragmatic/episode-30-coffee http://techdistortion.com/podcasts/pragmatic/episode-30-coff... as a better way to learn a bit about coffee.
Marco says, for example, that the CO2 thing is bullshit i.e. doesn't affect the coffee in ways he can notice. This is the kind of thing I'm most interested: someone who made all the experiences and came to a conclusion.
- TarpitCarnivore 12y agoIs the CO2 thing specific to letting roasted coffee sit X days before use and blooming? While I haven't really tried to see if blooming matters when it comes to taste (it's a good indicator of bean freshness), I can say there is a difference in days since roast impacting taste. Beans release gas after roast and if you have some too close to roast date the taste can be dramatically different from a day or two later. In fact I've seen recommendations of beans best used for espresso have rested for 5-7 days post roast.
- swah 12y agoThey mentioned that in the podcast as well and I found it very interesting (although they said 2 or 3 days after roasting would be best). Unfortunately I can't find "unroasted" (raw?) beans here.
- TarpitCarnivore 12y agoNot sure where you're located, but if you're in the US you should be able to order green, unroasted beans from Sweet Marias.
