Don't know about anyone else here, but, I do not always follow the golden rule of waiting for a day or so before sampling the beans I have roasted. I have enjoyed experiencing the changes that occur with some beans. I have noted that not all get better or even change in flavor with the longer wait in off gassing. The recent order I got of the Ethiopia, Sidama Durata Bombe, is a very fruity, smooth cup. I get an even blueberry with a slight nuance of pineapple and a little sweetness. Can't pick up the plum flavor, but I didn't really choose this coffee for that. Very enjoyable! I hope anyone else that chose to get some, experiences the same, or close to it.
That Ethiopian had the best write up I've seen all year. Unfortunately I was unable to buy any as my employer cut our hours to 24/week in April. We were reinstated to 40/week a few weeks ago so I'll probably begin buying 1 pound of everything Sweet Maria's again soon! A lot of times I too will be drinking fresh roast the next day or even the same day if I have let the pipeline run out. It's good stuff even without a rest.
