Question
When to rest light roasts
date-created: 2026-03-09
Light roasts can taste sharp, closed, or overly sparkling when brewed too early. This question tracks how long a coffee needs to settle before it starts tasting clear instead of restless.
Current framing:
- What changes between day 3, day 7, and day 14?
- Do washed and natural coffees settle on different timelines?
- When does extra rest stop helping and start muting the cup?
