Hopefully this helps some of you today! And at the very least, put a smile on your face 🙂

As a coffee roaster,
We often profile the roast a bit different. As in we roast the coffee a little bit slower, and often times to the same roast level/degree. Roasting a bit slower can increase solubility, and tame acidity.

This was great! Thanks for clarify that Kyle! The difference between espresso coffee and filter coffee was one of the biggest questions in my coffee journey.

I discovered your channel recently (in my hunt of finding a great entry level espresso grinder😂) and I have to say I am impressed. Coming from watching James Hoffmann's channel, the quality of your videos do not disappoint! Keep up the good work! Cheers ☕️

Great video since many people don't know how this difference in roast profile affects the beans. I am buying always one espresso and one filter bag and prepare them as espresso. As you said the difference is in the grinding firstly, because espresso roasts are more brittle than filter so I need a coarser setting for espresso and much finer setting for filter roast. Also I tend to pull longer shots with filter roast but that is dependable on what I get in the cup in first place after a regular around 30 sec shot for 1:2 - 1:2.2 ratio. Only thing that you should have mentioned plus in this video comparing them is that filter roasts tend to have more pronounced acidity in the cup usually since the beans are less roasted (in simple terms). And lastly don't forget omni-roasts which are available from many top tier roasters and that profile is their first choice by far. But maybe another video? :)
Keep up the work mate, cheers.

I am in Madagascar. I have a Gaggia Classic Pro espresso machine. The arabica is fantastic. I have found that adding in about 33% robusta from Madagascar to create a Malagasy Espresso Blend is simply fantastic. Roast level I find best at a sort of lighter side of medium. Coffee is fantastic.

Kyle hows it going my friend. Thanks for this video. What I would like to add, is a HUGE pet peeve of mine is roasters who sell 10 blend/SO and none have espresso in the title or descriptions. Its frustrating having to read each one, but I get it they sell more beans that way when they don't imply the spro blend is only for espresso.
I have had to email many companies to find out what product they approve for espresso use. Some give me a straight up answer, others diddle around and say "well everything we sell you can make in your machine." For fun I bookmark all the roasters I can find and note what their 5# bag costs and shipping policy. So far I have over 100. There are SO MANY roasters online in USA, I want to try a 5# from everyone but that would take 2 decades. Thank you again for another video, and the "insider" info about your business is cool too.

Very informative, I learned something new today, thank you Kyle, keep up the good work!

[andreavon]

Great video once again, you made me laugh, I used to roast all my beans dark because I thought that’s what I needed for my espresso, until I understood that it doesn’t have to be dark for a good espresso ☕️ ✌️

[dhletro]

@5:50 I happened to look away and heard you knock on my phone 🤣 and yes I was still with you. And I learned a lot as I just got a used ROK and in the experiment stage going through bags of locally roasted beans. So this video did help me and thank you. 🤪☕😎📖🌅

[marcochiasson]

« Espresso beans » makes me grinch as much as a « cappuccino machine ». 😆. Didn’t recognize you for a sec without the baseball cap 😉

[shishsuke]

3:34 Didn't know they grew coffee in DC lol

[SWatchik]

Great topic and video, the worst is when the bag says it's suitable for all brew methods regardless of roast level, blended or not etc 😅

[djnorm]

I play with beans in filter and espresso lots of fun and discovering love it

[mouseparker]

[goodcompanycoffee]

[oaw]

Great video, never stop hopping my friend

[MrArdytube]

Excellent production value… and informative also. I my case, I brew espresso…
But sometimes have bought coffee marked “Filtro”. I was never sure of the difference till now
