Just to clarify, my understanding is that it varies. There are outliers. Rarely (but occasionally) you can brew within hours. Others, again rare, it can be 6 to 8 weeks. Beans are complex little beggars, and vary a lot. I was suggesting 5 days as an example period, to illustrate the Fri/prev-Sunday thing. not a suggestion. I’ve seen lots of suggestions, and typically, 4 to 7 days seems to be a commonly quoted realistic minimum, most of the time. If 14 days works for you, it’s what works. My guess is it will vary bean to bean, roast profile affects it, even perhaps size of batch. Somewhere, I guess we’ve either got to draw an acceptable average, or send a hell of a lot of time testing every variation, to work out the optimum.</p> \n\n<p>One othrer thing, of course, that impacts on the “optimum” resting time is how we assess that, which ultimately, is taste. And we all can only know our own taste buds. Different people taste things very differently. You may be a super-taster, but I don’t believer I am. Or a front-palate taster and I’m rear. Or vice-versa. It’s very hard to compare.</p> \n\n<p>It’s hard to now what’ll work for me, in terms of batch size, and I really do get your point. I’m sorry I;m being a bit vague, but there are reasons why I think, and I’ll stress <strong>think</strong> the smaller batch size probably won’t be the problem for me that it is for you, and indeed, probably would for most people. In general, I do very much agree with the way you see it. It’s just that my circumstances aren’t normal, and it’s given me a very different perspective on some things.</p>\n\n<p>As for popcorn poppers, I can see what you mean. Visually, yeah. And I say this with the vaveat that I haven’t seen them in the flesh either. But from what I understand, they are considerably more polished than that, especially the Ikawa. They seem to bear much the same resemblance to popcorn poppers as the Niche Zero does to the old Krups chopping ‘grinder’ I used to prep filter coffee for my Melitta in the ’70s. But …. I haven’t had hands-on either,.</p> "
