How long should you wait before brewing fresh roasted coffee? - Barista Exchange2024-03-28T16:09:40Zhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/forum/topics/how-long-should-you-wait?feed=yes&xn_auth=noThis varies from roast to roa…tag:www.baristaexchange.com,2009-08-01:1688216:Comment:5720312009-08-01T21:35:37.991ZEyal Rosenhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/EyalRosen
This varies from roast to roast. Ask your roaster. They should give you a full profile, optimal brew range (in days) included.<br />

Agreeing with 2ish days as the early end, as well as 3ish for espresso and a 2ish week end date.<br />
<br />
On this subject, I ran across a Cooks Illustrated article that covered freshness. In addition to the above referenced 10-12 day max lifespan, they cited a much longer 90 day window for beans vac-sealed in an aluminized bag, attributing this to George Howell... I knew you could maybe stretch things a bit with pre-packs, but 90 days sounds like wishful thinking.<br />

I agree, two days for drip coffee and 3-5 for espresso.

Most folks will say 2-ish days for non-pressurized brewing and 3-4 days for espresso and other pressurized brewing (like aeropress or moka).<br/>
<br/>
Generally speaking, coffee is pretty well staled by the end of 2 weeks. This depends on the coffee, and can be sooner or later. It's nothing set in stone. You just have to know your product well. (you should anyway, right?)<br/>
<br/>
That having been said, your roaster should be able to give you some specific guidelines and parameters for their coffee. If they can't, then what does that say about how well they know their own product?</div>
