How to make regular coffee from espresso beans?


QUESTION:

Hi: I inadvertently purchased espresso beans instead of regular beans. Can I make regular coffee from espresso beans?? Thanks!


ANSWER:

Sure you can.

Really, there is no such thing as an “espresso bean” as something somehow separate from a “coffee bean”.

When you buy “espresso beans” you are simply buying coffee beans that have been blended and roasted in a way that suits espresso. But they are still just coffee beans.

It’s absolutely fine to grind them and use them in your regular coffee maker.

I had the same concern after I just returned to the grocery store, where I grabbed the wrong bad.

Coffee Detective doesn't only offer me great resources, but it offers me something more...peace of mind.

Thanks Coffee Detective!
