Do you need espresso beans to make espresso?

Can you use regular coffee beans in an espresso machine? Yes, technically you can use regular coffee beans in an espresso machine but the drink you'll make may taste sour, funky, and tart. We recommend that you use dark roasts to make better tasting espresso with rich crema.
