After purchasing freshly roasted coffee beans, the question beginners ask most often is: do these coffee beans need resting? The answer is: yes. But in everyday practice, Front Street Coffee often gives a completely opposite answer:

"No need.The freshly roasted coffee beans you receive can be brewed right away; the time in transit is enough. From the third or fourth day after roasting, they start to stabilize, and the aroma becomes richer as you keep drinking them."

Why is there such an apparently contradictory answer? First, it must be made clear that in the first few days after coffee beans are roasted, the roast fire has not yet faded and the aroma has not fully transformed and been released. On the other hand, the aroma of roasted coffee beans is not unchanging; it changes every day, and it does not bloom on one particular day. As time goes on, the one to two weeks after roasting are a process in which the coffee bean aroma keeps increasing; by the third to fourth week, the aroma begins to show a downward trend. This is a constantly changing process. This is why coffee beans need resting.

At the same time, Front Street Coffee also advises not to rest them, and to start drinking freshly roasted beans as soon as you receive them. What this reply means is that most people have no actual taste experience of whether a bean has been rested properly or not, and cannot perceive the coffee beans'whether rested properly or notdifference and changes.

If you truly want to pay attention to whether a coffee bean has been rested properly, do not ask how many days it takes for the bean to be considered rested. On the one hand, there is no exact time; on the other hand, if you only drink so-called properly rested coffee beans, then you will never feel the difference between coffee that has been rested properly and coffee that has not.

To be able to distinguish whether coffee beans have been rested properly, there is only one method: start drinking the fresh coffee beans as soon as you receive them, and drink a bag of beans over several rounds, personally feeling its changes every day, rather than merely staying at the level of a concept in words.
