When is the best time to grind post roast?

[bamabeaner]

I have some customers who prefer that I grind their coffee for them. I am unsure of when the best time is to do that post roast? Does grinding right after roasting affect the degassing process? Is there an optimal time I should wait before grinding? I would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks,

Grinding it essentially ends the degassing process (and begins the staling process) so it doesn't matter if you wait or do it right away.

Thanks for clarifying that for me Peter.
