⏰Resting coffee allows trapped carbon dioxide to escape and improves flavor.
🌟Light roasts need 4-5 days of rest, while darker roasts only need 2 days.
🗒️Very light and dense coffees may require up to 10 days of rest.
🌡️The ideal storage temperature for coffee is around 20 degrees Celsius.
☕Proper resting of coffee leads to improved flavor and extraction during brewing.
How long should I rest my coffee before brewing?
—Light roasts should rest for 4-5 days, while darker roasts only need 2 days. Very light and dense coffees may require up to 10 days of rest.
What happens if I don't rest my coffee?
—Without resting, trapped carbon dioxide can interfere with the brewing process, resulting in under-extraction, sourness, and off-flavors.
Can I drink coffee immediately after roasting?
—It is not recommended to drink coffee immediately after roasting as it will have high levels of carbon dioxide and a sour taste. It's best to wait for the appropriate resting time.
Does storage temperature affect the resting process?
—Yes, storing coffee at around 20 degrees Celsius helps maintain the quality and flavor profile during the resting period.
How can I tell if my coffee has finished resting?
—Coffee that has finished resting will have a reduced level of carbon dioxide and a more balanced, flavorful taste.
