Beans, Beans, Beans........ They're All BEANS!!!

As I mentioned some time ago I think this part of the forum needs to be renamed... Any person that truly appreciates all things coffee knows there's no such thing as "espresso beans" and I get tired of customers asking me the difference :x :x :x

I tell them they're all COFFEE BEANS, that roast level/bean origin dictates what brew method(s) best highlight its characteristics..... Later!

Happy New year.

Not tired of customers, just misinformed customers.

Here is what I think is the problem. The words "espresso beans" have become part of the shopping language and only we in the specialty coffee industry know better.

You can buy espresso beans at the grocery store, Starbucks, Illy, etc. etc.

So suck it up my friend and blame the Italians. J/K.

Cheers.
