espresso beans

Dark roast seeds

Espresso beans are coffee beans roasted dark for use in espresso machines.

The term is somewhat misleading—any coffee bean can make espresso, and "espresso beans" can brew regular coffee.

The dark roast produces the bold, slightly bitter flavor associated with espresso drinks.
