I read their product description and noted that they said it didn't matter how you ground your beans, that it worked equally well with any grind. I would just start out in the middle and do a little bit of experimenting up and down the scale and see if you can find the "sweet spot" that meets your personal taste. Good luck and I'd love to hear back from you once you have given it a try.

Unfortunately I can't recommend any ...Hi Tyer,<br /><br />Unfortunately I can't recommend any dark roasts for espresso. If the oils from the beans are evident on the outside of the bean - meaning the beans are glossy and oily - in my experience you just can make good crema. <br /><br />Also, you may find that if you use dark roast beans, when you remove the portafilter from the machine, the puck will remain stuck to the microscreen. Then it's a big mess getting it out of there. If you are making a second cup for someone else, it's not a good scene.<br /><br />If you really want to give it a shot, why not start with a dark roast that you can get at a local store and see how it goes. <br /><br />--JohnJohn Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886360413052039824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31986315.post-80087004601298130092013-07-19T15:33:22.809-07:002013-07-19T15:33:22.809-07:00Do you have any recommendations for a dark roast b...Do you have any recommendations for a dark roast bean that would work well for expresso. I know you said they aren't the best but I really enjoy darker roasts, so I was wondering if there was any that make a good expresso?
