Thanks Grasshopper. Yes, it's flying out the door. The Secret Label coffee is pretty easy to dial in. Not as challenging as say an Ethiopian natural......especially for someone with your technical bent. It's a reasonably forgiving coffee. Once you open the carton, it's not going to be much of a secret ....bit of a clue on the bag. It's going to be too fresh so in terms of rest time........depends upon which roaster I end up using in the morning, which of course depends upon whether we need 500kg or 900kg by lunchtime. If I'm using the Brambati (which is looking like it may be the case), then it tends to prefer about 8-9 days. If I'm using the Proaster, then it's able to be used a lot sooner, e.g. 4 days, heck I often use the Proaster coffee the day after. Enjoy, it's a truly lovely coffee. Jeff
