Coffee Knowledge: Do You Have to Use Espresso Roast to Make Espresso?

Coffee educator Lincoln Bechard explains that Espresso refers to a brewing method, not a specific type of coffee bean; different roasts change the taste and aroma in the cup.

The Brewing Method Defines the Name

Espresso is made by forcing hot water under high pressure through finely ground coffee, producing concentrated flavor, crema, and a rich body. Making it at home does not require the use of Espresso Roast.

Roasting Shapes Flavor

Espresso Roast retains its coffee structure when milk or water is added, delivering a fuller caramel character; Blonde Espresso is brighter and more citrus-forward. The accompanying video from the original article can be viewed on the official website.
