For those keeping tabs, that's a grinder, machine, and now a roaster.

OK - so you're a little rough on equipment. At least the coffee is finally fresh! Nice job.

I don't savvy that 4-day fresh thingie either. Your roaster and espresso machine will show you, without a doubt, some beans aren't developed for 4-5 days and then may drink brilliantly for a week or two thereafter.

Yemens can be at their best at 7-9days IMO for espresso SO shots. This brings up freezing roasted beans so that they can be kept at their peak flavor for espresso.
