A maioria dos clientes procura o grão mais fresco na prateleira — e eu também faço isso quando compro café e ainda tenho alguns grãos em casa que preciso usar primeiro. Dessa forma, garanto que os grãos de café descansem o suficiente. Só dou grãos de café aos meus baristas que tenham descansado por cerca de 14 dias, e o motivo é simples. Durante a torrefação, os grãos acumulam gases em seu interior, que...]]></description><link>https://www.al-gharb.coffee/pt/post/por-que-deixamos-os-gr%C3%A3os-de-caf%C3%A9-em-repouso-a-desgaseifica%C3%A7%C3%A3o-dos-gr%C3%A3os-de-caf%C3%A9-%C3%A9-um-processo-impo</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a956efc5985bdb586747dba</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:09:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b8c432_8826ea08f0814ddf84c7b79bc50f8faf~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>henning</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to store your coffee at home?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Fellow Airscape in action OK - you have found a coffee you like and you bought a bag.
