How many coffee beans for espresso?
If I have to choose the coffee brewing method where dosing accuracy ismost important, it's definitely espresso. Consider that for espresso you use a 1:2 ratio (see the first table in this article). So it is the most concentrated coffee drink. The strength of the flavors is the most pronounced. So you can detect the variations in coffee brewing the most here, much more so than from a more diluted filter.
For the preparation of filter coffee, a coffee with a lighter roast is usually used. For espresso, coffees with more varied roast profiles may be used (depending on coffee origin, coffee machine equipment, combining with milk). Sometimes it will be a medium roast 100% Arabica, sometimes an espresso blend with a darker roast. Different coffee varieties and roast levels mean different bean sizes for making espresso.
