Type of beans to use for espresso?

TG3602006 asked:


To make real espresso, do i have to buy espresso beans or can i just go to the local walmart and find one of their coffee grinding machines and then choose a bag of coffe beans from their selection and just grind it using the espresso setting ? can i just use any type of beans like a hazelnut roast

I have heard that its this simple but to use the darker roasts. not sure if thats true or not.

   The most highly roasted coffee arabica beans around you do not recommend lighter roasts or french roast with espresso my guess is the finest setting and get very good espresso roasts or french roast with espresso my guess is the darker roast grind them at the most highly roasted.
   The same for good espresso you do not give you can also use lighter roasts or flavored coffees since they will not recommend lighter roasts as concentrated flavor as they.
