I always thought a puffy bag was a sign of freshness. Plus the taste isn't like the roasted samples I got. Very winey and sort of hay like. I went slower and longer but can't get past that. I would drop it but the samples were so good. I'm puzzled.
As soon as I roast then I squeeze all the air out of the pouch bag and wait 12-24 before brewing them. They never puff up the bag.
They roasted beans I bought actually taste good! Not able to tell if they outgassed because they were brought by someone in there luggage and it may have crushed...
I bought some green coffee and roasted them. I have tried 15 batches and a variety of profiles, NONE of them outgas. Do green beans go bad? I thought they had a long shelf life until they are cooked.
Also I bought the same beans roasted and green and I can't get my roast to resemble theirs in...
