My original post stated that I find that my espresso tastes the best after a 4-5 week de-gassing period in oneway valved bags. I feel that it is best served that way.

I was not asking for advice(no offense), but rather just curious if any of you age your beans? It may be different for me because I purchase my beans already roasted and bagged.

I would guess that many home roasters just let the beans sit out for a couple days?
