How Much difference do Fresh Coffee Beans have over Stale Coffee Beans in Espresso? Let’s find out!
All the extraction settings for both of the shots were EXACTLY the same.
Even letting the beans age a little after opening makes a massive difference in espresso shot quality. Also, notice that even though both the shots start at exactly the same time, the fresh beans soak in more water during pre-infusion and drip slowly in the beginning compared to the relatively stale beans.
The beans on the left side were roasted on Nov 8, 2023.
Tasted very fruity, and I enjoyed it very much.
The Coffee Beans on the right were roasted on Oct 17, 2023.
It didn’t taste very pleasant, and I wouldn’t say I liked it very much.
