Sorry this took so long, I don’t get notifications for some reason.
If the coffee tastes bitter that is unlikely to improve with resting (degassing). If the coffee is very fresh it can taste a little thin, and a bit edgy - the flavours aren’t so cohesive and the acidity might lack definition, but bitterness most often comes from over-roasting. It could be a bean defect, or it could be poorly brewed. I would not speculate about what another roaster might be doing, Allpress are great but stuff can slip through the net.
