I've been making espresso for a while, but don't really have a good idea of the taste and handling differences between light/medium/dark roasts. I think so far nearly everything I've been getting advertises itself as medium .
Can you suggest three representative coffees for me...
I usually drink a 19g double shot espresso once per day, or if I brew, a single 20g brew.
