What coffee beans do espresso machines use?
Espresso is just one of the coffee extraction methods. No matter what kind of coffee is used, as long as the coffee is made with an espresso machine, it can be called espresso. As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter if it's single-origin coffee or mixed-bean coffee, or light roasted coffee or dark roasted coffee. There are no rules that say only what kind of coffee can be used.
The machine that extracts espresso coffee has the best conditions for extraction, so no matter what kind of coffee is used, it can make the best extraction. But the so-called "good extraction" not only extracts the beautiful components in coffee to the maximum value; similarly, the bad taste will also be extracted to the maximum value, which must be paid attention to. Therefore, when choosing beans, you must use good coffee beans without defects. If the coffee beans themselves have shortcomings, it’s as mentioned above. Shortcomings will also be extracted in large quantities and magnified to an intolerable degree.
