Choosing Espresso Beans for your Espresso Machine

If you are a regular espresso drinker then chances are that you know about all the different kinds of espresso beverages available. Simply put, there are dozens of ways that many people all over the world enjoy the same type of drink. Whether it's combining certain other ingredients to make a latte or adding different spices like cinnamon, there is really no end to the way that espresso can be used in a coffee drink! When it comes to making espresso, though, many people have trouble and are often confused about where to begin.


Of course, the first and foremost issue that you'll want to take care of is your espresso coffee machine. There are many different types of espresso machines on the market today. From manual espresso machines to automatic machines there are all different varieties and different prices as well. But the second thing on the list when making espresso is the coffee beans that are purchased for your drink. Considering the fact that the coffee beans make all the difference when it comes to the taste of your espresso one should pay the utmost care when buying them in the grocery or other coffee store.

Pre-Ground or Whole Coffee Beans

Choosing the type of coffee beans for your cup of espresso is very important and there are two basic kinds of beans to choose from. Espresso coffee beans usually come in pre-ground and pre-packaged servings, but they also come in whole coffee beans. Of course the whole coffee beans usually have to be ground yourself, but many people prefer grinding the coffee beans by themselves because it gives them a feeling of accomplishment as well as more control over how coarse or fine they want their espresso beans to be.

If you are like many people, however, chances are that you'll be purchasing the pre-ground coffee beans that are available in most of the grocery stores throughout the United States. Even though there is an advantage to doing this, you'll want to be sure that the packages actually fit in your espresso machine. Even though most pre-packaged and pre-ground espresso machines are made with care so they do fit in most machines, it is better to check then to end up not having any espresso in the morning because you didn't check the size of the packages!

Most of the pre-packaged espresso beans, though, will usually say whether or not they are compatible with all machines, so reading the label is also important before purchasing a specific pre-ground espresso bean package!

The best method that many people choose for their coffee beverage is to simply grind the coffee beans before they're put into the espresso machine. As mentioned, this gives them the greatest control over how the espresso will taste considering the fact that espresso is either bitter or weak depending on just exactly how they are ground! There definitely is much to be concerned about, though, when choosing your coffee beans, so making sure you look at them wisely is very important!
