introduction:
Your grinder is ready... and the coffee is fresh...
But there are people who say: “Let it cool down a little before you come.”
What does it mean? And does it really make a difference?
In this article, we answer a common question: Does coffee need to rest after grinding?
1. What does it mean to "fan" after grinding?
🔹 What is meant is that you grind the coffee... and leave it uncovered for a short period before preparing it.
🔸 The goal? To quickly expel excess gases (especially carbon dioxide).
✅ Some people notice a slight "puffing" when grinding — this is a sign of gas.
2. Is ventilation necessary?
✅ In some cases:
- If the coffee is very fresh (less than 4 days from roasting)
- Or if you notice your cup swelling too much during extraction.
❌ Under normal conditions? No, it is best to use it immediately after grinding.
3. How long would it take if you decided to take a breather?
⏱️ From 30 seconds to 1 minute only
📌 Do not leave it longer than this, because the volatile oils and flavors begin to evaporate quickly.
4. When is ventilation harmful?
- If the coffee has been roasted for a while and has started to dry out
- Or if the environment is humid — it leaks moisture for flavor.
- Or if you grind it a long time ago and leave it uncovered
🎯 In these cases, direct use is better.
✅ Conclusion:
Fresh coffee may need to rest for a few seconds... but don't overdo it.
The most important thing is that you use it as soon as possible after grinding — because the flavor escapes faster than you expect.
