Appreciation post: my local roaster told me to wait 10 days after the roast date before brewing

I always used my beans right away, thinking fresh was best. The owner at Ground Up in Denver said to let them rest for a full week and a half to let the CO2 settle. I tried it with a bag of their Ethiopian, marking the calendar. The coffee was way smoother, no harsh bite at all. Has anyone else found a specific rest time that works better for certain beans?

Ten days feels like a long time to stare at a fresh bag of beans.

I just made a pot right away, @james533, that wait would kill me.
