Age of frozen beans is misleading

Open reox opened this issue 9 months ago • 4 comments

Frozen beans keep their age at time of freezing. While I can understand the intention, I find it a bit misleading:

  • Frozen beans also stale, just much much slower. As this depends on the type of beans, there is possibly also no "freezing-factor" that could be used (I read that freezing is about 10× slower staling on average)
  • I maybe want to use the oldest beans first, but without the age information, I have no idea which one that is. Also the freezing date does not help, because I could have bought older beans later.
  • The info text says "roasted" - which is then wrong, as it is clearly not anymore the days after roasting...

I would not mind to get back the old behavior, i.e., roasted age really shows the days since roasting, independent of frozen or thawed beans. Another option would be to let the user decide and have an option to toggle or to be able to show both times as a customization setting.
