Should I get espresso-medium or the dark? I normally drink latte

I have not tried the express or medium. Judging from how smooth and flavorful the dark is, I'd say a latte would work just fine.

I love the medium, Patti. It's called Three Sisters and is a delicious blend. If you like very strong coffee, go with the dark. Hope you like it! BH

Thank you for your interest in our product. The Espresso color is a dark brown color that has a red hint of glow. Where Black is pitch black. Espresso and Black would tell difference in both indoor lighting but most obviously under outdoor lighting. Thank you and have a wonderful day! --FurnitureMaxx

I would suggest something with an espresso finish. The color is dark and rich looking, definitely a dark brown and not black.

I use Latin Style espresso grounds. you can find it preground in the coffe area of any supermarket. I like Pylon and Bustello, depending on whats on sale...

I have found that the best brew from an espresso machine comes from a very finely ground coffee in whatever roast you prefer. Almost any grocery or Costco has a bean grinder where you can set the grind to suit your preference. I prefer a very dark roast, particularly the Espresso roast from Peets.

It's not too dark as the espresso . It's almost a deep Mahogny . Beautiful!!

I think espresso would be darker.it does look like you see in the picture. The wood is beautiful, it doesn't look cheap.

A medium-dark would definitely let you see a difference but wont look too dark :)

The espresso color is a very dark brown, but it is still distinctly a dark shade of brown. I wouldn't say it's that close to black.

It is definitely a dark espresso color. In some lights it reads nearly black, but is a wonderful deep dark dark brown.

I would say that the Rainforest Blend is more of a medium blend / flavor - If you are looking for a lighter blend, I would choose their Breakfast Blend - or want a little strong, I lLOVE their Espresso Roast. Cheers!

I prefer dark italian or espresso beans, so that is what I use. I use the middle grind setting since I've owned the machine, and that has worked well to produce a nice double shot with great crema. Have not needed to adjust water sizes as they are right for me. Also understand that you can always stop water delivery during the process, so if a setting normally produces too much water for someone's tastes, you can always stop it. I prefer this method, since if there are people that want a weaker coffee, and not espresso, then the right amount of water is delivered for them. All in all its been a very reliable machine to date, and gets used very frequently in my house. It's easy to clean and refill water and beans. As for me, espresso is my thing, and there was a keurig in the kitchen for the other "coffee" drinkers. But that was quickly replaced by this system as the beans are fresh ground, easier to use than the others in my opinion, and if the machine holds up, will be cheaper and better than any kcup system. Even though I used to buy my own coffee and refillable kcup pods. But what a pain that was. This jura is well with it for me.

It's a very dark brown/cherry. Not an Espresso black/brown if that's what you're looking for.

If you ordered espresso the parts should be dark brown. There was probably a mix up and they sent you the wrong color.

The bean is dry. If I was going to use it for espresso I would get the dark roast. Really a great coffee! I use the medium roast in a French press and it's the best coffee I've ever had.
