    I've been my dads place and i dont know how old his coffee beans are or whether his actually dialed in the grind. He seems to love his coffee. So i think its also relative to your taste and expectations.

      My espresso roasts hold up well for a several weeks with subtle changes along the way, even after a couple of months they still taste a lot better than cheap supermarket beans. However rarely do they ever last that long in our household!!!

        Something like a lighter roasted fruity Ethiopian heavy blend could last aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. For example, ONA use to recommend you don’t start drinking their Raspberry Candy blend till 35 days. Now they recommend a more moderate 21 days, but still, especially if you store it well, it’s super fruity well over 40 days.

        Whereas I find things like darker Allpress roasts peak at about 10 days and go rapidly downhill not too long afterwards.

        tl;dr the beans and taste will dictate terms.
        Agreed, my lighter roasts are still good 5-6 weeks post roast but darker roasts I tend to stop using if more than 4
