    Re: Resting period post roasting


    Yes it certainly isnt anything to be worried about....for anyone that has an open mind to try, and will go along with changing settings of grinder and barista technique to get the best out of it as it changes during "settlement".

    Persons that dont "get it" need to consume only coffee that has settled and become more stable. These are usually persons that think that grind setting and technique (as well as coffee beans) should be "consistent" (the old "c" word )

    Re: Resting period post roasting

    Today I had a coffee that was roasted three days ago on the 20th. It was the best coffee I have had since my eyes were first opened to the fact that coffee doesnt have to taste bad, and I started going to the right cafes in Melbourne

    Actually, I had a coffee from this batch yesterday too, and it was great then as well.

    I was a little worried that I should let it wait for a few days, because I was a little unsure on this issue too, but like you all seem to be saying, its all about trial and error.

    But I certainly wont be worried about using coffee thats only two days old in the future.

    Ciao

    Just to add a bit more to this discussion:

    Just when you think youve got it right for that bean, your developing skills at roasting, dosing, tamping, extracting and tasting will change the equation. ;D ;D ;D

    There really is no right answer, except what you prefer today. :

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. Its good to know that there isnt an exact point and it is all about trialling at different points, taking notes so you can remember, that sort of thing.

    The process kind of sounds like a good wine, improves to a point and then goes downhill.

    Thanks again,

    Cheers

    Hi Michelle, if you were to think of it like a bell curve then there will be a point on that curve where you think that the coffee is starting to taste great.Keep in mind that the coffee will continue to develop either up or down that bell curve.There will be a segment that suits your taste, and with each different coffee you try, that segment may vary.Keep lots of personal notes, and dont be too influenced by popular opinion.

    Cheers
    Den, very eloquently put, great explanation.

    Its all about experimentation, try it 2 hours post roast, then every 2 or 3 days until you find the sweet spot, bit fiddly but all part of the journey to snobbery

    Ive had a few beans that were palatable at 2 hours post roast (Peru and Nicaraguan) but they certainly benefit from resting for a few days

    I find about 5 days post roast seems to suit the majority of bean types that I roast (monsooned mal being the exception)
