Many who are really into coffee know this “trick”. Still, you have to remember that there is no silver bullet that covers 100%. You can of course find beans that don’t benefit from this treatment or where things get worse, but in my experience, for my purpose, it helps with almost all beans I use regularly. Best you can do is try out for yourself and see if it helps. You and what you like is all that matters, don’t do things just because others do them.
