Please help me to get started - eviltoast

Hello!

I recently got a new espresso machine (a Breville Barista Express if that helps at all), and I have no idea how to get started picking espresso beans. I think I’d like a milder, darker roast for either lattes / cappuccinos but also good for drinking straight.

Where do I even go about finding a good bag of beans? Are there any recommended sites? Do you just go to your grocery store?

Any other advice for a brand-new first timer?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Check out a local roaster around you and grab a bag of whatever they use for their espressos. You probably won’t get the best of the best immediately, but it will help you start figuring out what you like and do not like.
