The TSC Coffee Shop

When I used to roast my beans I found that letting them rest for a week before brewing allowed them to develop more complexity and improved overall taste. May want to try that.
I made an esspresso with some freshly ground 3 day old roast this morning. The flavor is a little less flat but not necessarliy more complex. What I think is tripping me up is how the flavor profile seems less like a regular roased coffee and more like one that has been purposefully flavored. I have had some Jim Beam or Southern Comfort flavored coffee (the kind you get for christmas) and this leans really heavy in that direction only WAY less articficial. Fortunately I enjoy the taste but I think its a bit self limitting, I can see enjoying some occasionally but not as an everyday all day thing.
