During the roasting process, chemical reactions within the beans produce gasses, which are released from the beans over time. As part of the process, about 1,000 different volatile compounds begin to escape, including the<a href=\"https:\/\/sca.coffee\/sca-news\/podcast\/81\/the-science-of-coffee-freshness-samo-smrke-expo-lectures-2019\"> ones that give the coffee its unique scent profile<\/a>. Because these compounds are released at different rates, fresh roasts can smell distinctly different from beans that have been stored for several weeks. That\u2019s also part of the reason that <a href=\"https:\/\/u3coffee.com\/shop\/buy-coffee\/whole-beans\/\">whole bean coffee<\/a> maintains its freshness longer than ground coffee\u2014grinding allows these gasses to be released at a much faster rate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-37 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-23\"><p>Let\u2019s raise a mug to all of your new knowledge!
