I expect this topic has been done to death, still opinions can change.
I'd love to hear the views of snobs on how long they rest the beans after roasting before they drink the coffee.

- What's the shortest interval you'd tolerate. Would you forgo your morning coffee if you'd only roasted the beans two days ago? (I wouldn't
) - What about at the other end. When do you toss your beans? After two weeks, a month, longer? (Mine never last that long, although I have used old beans to top up the grinder when I've run too low.)
- Finally, what is your perfect zone - eg 5 to 10 days, 3 to 7 days? (I find coffee tastes differently at different times. It can be surprisingly good yet taste different as time passes, or it can be horrid if drunk too soon or too late, depending on the roast.)
