Resting/de-gassing fresh roasted coffee

Not to be too naive here, but how do you actually "rest" or "de-gas" fresh roasted beans?

Have some beans from Metropolis roasted on the 3/7, and the espresso tastes a bit "bright" today, 3/11.

I try to grind a few (ten to fifteen) minutes before I want the espresso. The reason that everyone suggests that you grind per shot is because the grounds off-gas far too rapidly as grounds, so if you *want* them to off-gas rapidly...
It's what I do when I run out of beans and the only thing available is roasted yesterday.

I agree. Abe and I did a taste test, and some new roasts, especially if they have Robustas or funky DPs, tasted better when they were ground up to an hour ahead. It's a good trick to have in one's arsenal.

Well, that's what I'm doing today! .... now, as far as my fresh roasted coffee is concerned?
