Aging of coffee beans refers to the natural process that occurs after roasting, during which the beans release trapped gases and their flavors gradually develop. This stage is also known as degassing and plays a crucial role in achieving balanced taste and aroma.

Immediately after roasting, coffee beans contain a high amount of carbon dioxide. Brewing coffee too soon can result in uneven extraction, sourness, or a flat flavor. As beans age, excess gas escapes, allowing water to extract flavors more evenly during brewing.

The ideal aging period depends on the roast level. Light roasts generally require more time to rest, often 7–14 days, while medium roasts perform best after 5–10 days. Dark roasts degas faster and are usually ready within 2–5 days. However, aging for too long causes beans to lose freshness, aroma, and complexity.

    The Coffee Shop Elective was a fun and practical class. I enjoyed learning about coffee, customer service, and how a coffee shop operates. It was engaging and a nice change from a typical class.
