I'm torn between waiting days to brew or going straight from the roaster

Some home roasters swear by a three-day rest period, saying it lets gas escape and mellows the coffee. Others claim the peak flavor hits right after the beans cool, and waiting just dulls it. I've tried both with my last Ethiopian batch and got totally different cups each time. Which camp are you in, and why?

Brewed my last roast right off the bat and it was SO harsh. Letting it sit for two days smoothed it out COMPLETELY. Team wait all the way.

Drink it fresh, tastes better right away.
