Can You Use Stale Beans for Cold Brew Coffee?

It's often said that the slow extraction process of cold brew coffee means you don't need the freshest of beans to create a good result. But how fresh is fresh enough?

When coffee goes stale, it's a lost cause and not good for much other than compost or gardening. Meat is the same way, but no-one was ever hospitalized and died from eating stale coffee - yet! 😉

Stale coffee beans are like poison. Once I pulled a shot from barely used pack of Lavazza super crema beans that were sitting on the counter for almost a year. It was extremely bitter so I added some milk. I could barely finish it. But within few minutes my body went into a shock. It took couple of days for me to recover.
