Maybe there are not too many coffee snobs here. They tend to get really upset if you make anything but straight espresso after 10:00 am and with anything but whole milk, too.

Espresso is a very fine grind of coffee. Find it in the coffee aisle in any grocery store. I do not know if a specific bean is used, but I would think so. Espresso is used to make many coffee drinks because it is a very strong, rich coffee and can tolerate added ingredients without tasting diluted.
