A great espresso starts with the right coffee beans. The choice of beans affects the oil and flavor profile of your espresso. Look for beans that promise a balance of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. The grind consistency is crucial too fine, and you may find your espresso over-extracted and bitter; too coarse, and it might taste weak and underwhelming.
