Espresso is a coffee drink and its preparation method, rather than a specific coffee bean, coffee bean mixing method or roasting degree. Not any variety of roasted coffee beans can be used to make authentic Italian coffee.

Italian coffee roasting manufacturers have added many coffee beans with different flavors to their own coffee beans, and there are at least five kinds of beans before they can be called integrated coffee beans. The integrated coffee beans imported from Italy have been roasted and processed in the original baking plant before they are packaged and exported to the world, with a preservation period of 2 to 3 years.

Some books or courses often say that Italian coffee in southern Italy uses very deep-roasted coffee beans to make espresso; or northern Italy, which is popular for deep-roasted coffee beans (relatively shallow).

In fact, these are misunderstandings about Italian coffee and Italian culture. Italian coffee beans are not roasted to very deep roasting, but most of them are roasted to medium-deep roasting.

Generally speaking, the comprehensive coffee beans launched by the baking plants in different regions have their own flavor, the flavor of each comprehensive coffee bean is different, and the proportion of species and varieties is also different. it is impossible to describe which comprehensive coffee bean is northern Italian flavor or which bean is southern Italian flavor.

However, in terms of Italian culture and eating habits, residents of South Italy, Central Italy, South Italy and East Italy do have different tastes. So the flavor preferences of coffee beans will be different.
