Freshly roasted coffee has an undeniable impact on flavor and aroma. In this post, we dive deep into why freshness matters when it comes to coffee.

Coffee is a living product, and just like any other perishable good, it tastes best when it’s fresh. Here’s why:

• Richer Flavors – Coffee beans release their volatile oils and flavors right after roasting. If you wait too long, these compounds begin to fade, resulting in a flat or stale taste.

• Aromas That Lift Your Spirits – The smell of freshly roasted coffee is inviting and comforting. That’s because the aromatic oils are still intact right after roasting.

• Smoother and Cleaner Cups – Freshly roasted beans provide a smoother, cleaner taste without the bitterness that older beans often have.

At Colorado Ironclad Coffee Roasters, we roast each batch to order to ensure you always get coffee at its freshest.
