Small nit - coffee beans are often times better after 10-14 days of roasting and have had some time for degassing when making espresso. Earlier than that and you will get a lot more creme than you really want if you are going for a balanced shot. But in the end it’s all taste so I can also be wrong for your personal situation.

In the supermarket you'll never find coffee that fresh, so you won't really have to worry about that. If you buy directly from a roaster you do have to pay attention to this, though some roasters write that date as well on the package so you know the coffee should still rest a bit.
Afgato? <14 days from roast

Expresso > 14 days from roast

Cheers

Isn't affogato just vanilla ice cream with espresso?
What is Expresso?
They probably mean affogato and espresso.
by they, you mean the auto incorrect updater by which I mean it automatically incorrects whatever you type.
