Why fresh roast needs rest
Roasted this morning doesn't always mean best this morning.
1. Freshly roasted coffee is full of carbon dioxide, trapped under real pressure. Darker roasts hold even more.
2. The gas escapes quickly at first, then slowly. Some can still be there months later.
3. Darker roasts are more porous. They lose gas faster and can seem to go stale faster too.
4. There's no single magic rest day. Brew the same coffee over several days, note when it tastes best, and plan around that window.
How many days do you rest your espresso roasts?
