This is a dumb question, but are espresso coffee beans the same as regular coffee beans?

My sister got an espresso machine and a bean grinder thing and I want to get her some good beans to go with it. I don’t drink coffee…so I didn’t know if I they were the same.

Yes, any type of coffee bean can be used to make espresso. Espresso is the process of brewing coffee by forcing steamed water through finely ground coffee beans. You should base your bean selection on the type of roast (how dark or light) and/or the type of bean that she prefers.
