Couch grass ['twitch'] should not be composted. Leave it to dry and then

its ashes!! Very few things need burning but these and Bindweed are
exceptions.

I compost couch, bindweed (both types), ground elder and nettles,
and have no problem.

Nick,
Having Couch, Bindweed and Ground Elder is, in itself, a problem. If you
had burnt their roots you would have none to compost!
Best Wishes.
