I need #coffeechain to weigh in here. If a bag of coffee has 100% Arabica coffee beans that are labeled “espresso”, can those be used for drip coffee, or should they be used only for espressos. This is a very American question, and I’m getting varying answers. For the record, I have legitimately no clue.

Absolutely! You can definitely use a bag of 100% Arabica coffee beans labeled as "espresso" for drip coffee as well. The term "espresso" typically refers to the roast level and the quality of the beans, rather than being exclusive to brewing espresso only.
In fact, using espresso-labeled beans for drip coffee can yield delicious results, as they are often roasted to bring out rich flavors and offer a well-rounded taste profile. So go ahead and enjoy your cup of drip coffee with those espresso beans without any hesitation. The quality of the beans is what matters most, and you're in for a flavorful experience!
Happy brewing! ☕️👌 #coffeechain
I guess if this is from the official coffee account; it’s settled. Ty.
"Espresso" refers more to the process than anything else. Yes specific beans can be roasted and blended for a specific flavor for your espresso. The same process is used for blends you run through your drip machine/french press/pour over. I recommend different grinds for different processes to ensure perfect extraction and a delicious cup of coffee.
My favorite espresso blend is 10% dark robusta, 30% medium yirgacheffe, 30% dark huehuetenango, 30% dark Brazil.
You do you.
Yeah I like using all different toast levels for drip coffee. What you want to look out for us the grind. An espresso grind will be more powdery. While the flavor will certainly be there, it's likely some little gritty grounds will make their way through too.
