Hey coffee lover,
If you're brewing espresso at home, you know how much effort goes into dialing-in your shot. A few seconds off, the wrong grind size, or a weak tamp, and the brew suddenly becomes undrinkable.
But have you considered that your coffee beans could be the culprit for lousy espresso?
For example, single-origin beans can yield terrible espresso 😲. Because those same light/medium roasts that make great pour-overs run the risk of going sour in an espresso. At the same time, you should stay away from store-bought blends because they might contain inferior quality beans.
So, how do you decide which espresso beans to buy?
Well, you've got to try out a few different beans before you find one that you like. Visit your local roasters and ask what they would recommend. Or go to your favorite coffee shop and see if they sell coffee beans (which they'll probably let you sample).
But the easiest way is to simply check our (freshly updated!) list of...
The 9 Best Coffee Beans for Espresso
You'll find single-origins and blends on this list, but rest assured they'll all make exquisite espresso.
