What's the peak window? Like 3-7 days after roasting?
Is there a cheat sheet for this stuff? I struggle with getting coffee prepared how I like it. I make the occasional fantastic coffee but am never sure what I did differently.
It varies by the coffee. Safest window is probably between 1 week after roasting, then 2 weeks after that. Lighter roasts last longer, but I imagine Raglan is medium-to-dark.
Oh, and pre-ground coffee won't last as long. If you don't have one, a grinder can really help get the best cup of coffee.
Thanks! Yeah I grind my own these days. I didn't realise coffee was supposed to be rested so long!
Sites are so keen to get you to sign up to a subscription to get the freshest coffee every week, I had assumed that made the best coffee.
Yeah, a week can feel like an eternity when you've got coffee you really want to try. I usually buy my coffee from cafes so it's ready to go.
