Awesome, will do Steve! Bit the bullet and picked up the Nuvo and a starter bag of green beans so will likely be in touch (assuming it doesn't go horribly wrong) for some in the future!
Haven't watched the entire video but loving it so far!
Edit: Finished the video, fun and educational! I hope roast days are a little bit less manual for you these days though!

Nice one. WRT resting and optimal freshness it tends to depend on the amount of convection used during roasting. On my kit which is low convection, the coffee tastes best about 3 weeks post roast. It’s so smooth, rich and defined at that point. That continues up to about 8 weeks when it starts to drop off but not suddenly. Prior to the 3 weeks it’s more edgy, less than a week and it’s just not nearly as sweet or defined.
Roasters using high convection machines like Lorings and Petroncinis tend to get better results at 3 days to 3 weeks, with drop-off happening a bit earlier, but you should still expect great flavour at 6 weeks post roast provided it’s well packed and stored. I think the freshly roasted thing gets a bit over played.

Hi Mick, give me a shout if you want green coffee. I only have 1 sort on the website but I can sort out anything from our range by email. I always bought green coffee from Hasbean for home roasting, they have a big range and it’s right there on the site.
