I actually did an experiment on this... buying fresh roasted (like day0) beans and just leave it in my container for beans that has valves for any gas to escape.
From my notes, while keeping everything else constant throughout (same machine, grinder, dose... etc), it turns out that I like the bean the most around 2wks mark... then it goes worse from about 3wks on...
It might has something to do with the beans, but from my experience, the beans need to be "aged" following roasted for it to settle... at least in the weather/humidity we have in Vancouver.
