What is the best coffee bean to use for espresso?
Any coffee from any origin can, and is, used to make espresso. Differences of origin, species, and roast level, are all factors that affect the quality of espresso. IMO, the best coffee for espresso is 100% Arabica, freshly roasted (within 24 hours), with a medium to medium/dark roast level. Since espresso is prepared without a filter, the Swedish study assumes that it provides just as little protection against type 2 diabetes as brewed coffee. However, effects on metabolism do not depend exclusively on whether the coffee is filtered or not, but also on other parameters of preparation.Espresso also has antioxidants and caffeine, which aid metabolism and help boost mood. Espresso is not inherently healthier than regular coffee, but drinkers can skip out on excess sweeteners and sugars often added in other coffee drinks since it can be enjoyed as is.

Which Costco coffee is like Starbucks?
Costco coffee, specifically Kirkland Signature, was roasted and supplied by Starbucks historically. However, as of early 2024, Starbucks’ name was removed from packaging, and Enveritas, a California-based organization, became involved in producing Kirkland Signature coffee, with roasting handled by diverse partners. By cutting out the intermediary and eschewing marketing and fancy packaging, the retailer can set its brand price lower and offer a cheaper alternative. Costco takes this private label playbook a step further by making Kirkland Signature its exclusive house label.
Will Starbucks grind beans from Costco?
Starbucks does not grind coffee from other brands due to food safety and contamination concerns, especially with flavored or potentially allergenic beans. The consensus among coffee connoisseurs is that a fine grind creates the best espresso.
