    Holding onto strong beliefs can be very limiting in many areas of life.

    There are few solid rules in coffee roasting and most can be pushed, bent and broken giving interesting and unique results.

    All you have to do with beans that are really fresh is to grind a lot finer and dose lower, lots to enjoyed in days 2 to 6 post roast.

    Decafe wow.............can just about bang it in the grinder as it's still warm...............might add I haven't had Decafe Wow for ages :-) But I have drank it within hours of roasting when I had been caught short with brown stuff.

    Thanks for the advice. I've got a few kg of Guatemala SHB, so I'll give that a whirl in the Behmor as slow as I can.
    Cheers

    I find Centrals (e.g. Mexican) pretty approachable from day one - when I get stuck.

    From personal experience, I've found that if you roast slightly slower than usual for any given bean, the taste seems to peak earlier, but doesn't age as well. I've had crackers straight out of the roaster like this

    If think if you roast faster, you retain more acidity, which can take longer to settle… just my musings at this point in time!

    started a topic Bean with the shortest rest time is....?

    Bean with the shortest rest time is....?

    Is there a certain bean (or blend) that anyone has found is at its best / or develops faster than normal? Only because if I get behind in roasting or get hit with visitors I end up drinking blends before my usual 7-10 preferred rest time and have wondered if I could manufacture a 'wedge' roast to get me through...
    Is there one that's good after a coupe of days??
    I'm assuming to roast slightly darker maybe - I read somewhere on the forum that darker roasts degas faster
    Just wonderin....
