I've often thought about buying a Commercially roasted SO (maybe something that I couldn't get green) and adding it to my regular home-roasted espresso blend, anybody regularly do this? Any recommendations?

Hi Henry, I don't recall anyone every writing about trying this. If I have a real bright, light roasted coffee I'm using for regular brewing, I may experiment using it at 20% to 40% with Brazil for the remainder in espresso. Mostly, it doesn't work out, but there's occasional surprises.
