Understanding Freshly Brewed Coffee: When to Enjoy It When coffee beans are roasted, they undergo a dramatic transformation. Roasting causes chemical reactions within the beans, creating the complex flavours and aromas we all love. However, this process also traps carbon dioxide (CO2) within the beans, which is slowly released over time—a process called degassing. Why Does Degassing Matter? Degassing is essential for optimal flavour development. Immediately after roasting, the CO2 trapped in the beans can negatively affect the extraction process during brewing. Too much CO2 escaping during brewing can create an uneven extraction, resulting in sour or underwhelming flavours. Letting...
