Espresso coffee beans are typically a dark roast, designed to extract a rich, concentrated flavor during brewing. The beans have a deep, bold profile with robust flavors of chocolate, caramel, and sometimes smoky or toasty notes. The dark roast enhances the sweetness while reducing the acidity, resulting in a smooth, full-bodied cup. When ground for espresso, the beans create a thick, velvety crema and a strong, slightly bitter taste, with complex layers that make it an ideal base for espresso-based drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, or macchiatos
