Is it oily bean? Is it ideal to be used in a super automatic espresso machine?

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.

The beans are moderately oily. I have a super-automatic espresso machine and this produced very good espresso. In my opinion it made better French press coffee...truly complex and delicious.

I wouldn't advise it. It is ground to almost a powder. This is a ground for steam to be pushed up through it to get the most flavor. Hot water just dripping through it would never do it justice. Buy the Mocha Pot. Get the "6 cup" it actually means the espresso cups. It has the best feedback and it is only $23+. I gave one at a "Chinese auction" Christmas Gift exchange and the guy LOVES it. You'll get your espresso at a coffee pot price.

I use the French dark roast and they are oily. There is no problem! The beans I use are virtually black!

I've never tried it for espresso, we use it strictly for Arabic(Turkish) coffee of which it grinds a beautifully consistent talcum powder consistency. Arabic (Turkish) coffee is the finest grind of coffee you can get, 100 microns or smaller, compared to normal espresso which is about 300 microns, so I believe this machine can easily grind a very good espresso as it is able to go 3 times finer if need be. We also thought we were going to have spend hundreds of dollars to get a fine enough grind for Arabic coffee and even then some of the $300 - $400 ones had complaints about not being small or consistent enough, but we are very happy with the fineness and consistency of this one. I hope this helps you decide.

No, it is not recommended. The JAVA & Co. espresso powder is so finely ground that it could cause the water in the espresso maker to overflow and be unable to penetrate the grounds. In addition, it is not an instant espresso and therefore will not dissolve in hot water for a cup on demand, i.e., one cup of instant espresso coffee. ~ Thank you ~

I used it everyday in my coffee. its delicious. I use 1 Tbs grassed butter, 1 Tbs coconut oil and 1 Tbs of this amazing ghee. It's worth the money.

I use Starbucks' whole Espresso beans and grind them in my Krups coffee grinder. I imagine the type of beans or coffee you use will depend on your flavor preference. I prefer a bold espresso taste, so I use espresso beans, but I have used a milder flavored bean (I think it was a french roast?) and it worked fine.

I haven't tried them in an espresso machine, but I grind them every day & they don't seem oily -- if they were, they would have gunked up my grinder. I would try them -- beats paying $52 a pound for those stupid little pods!

I would recommend the medium fine for espresso. The fine will turn it to powder. Also works great for herbs.

Not sure. Others have complained about grind consistency. I grind fine but for a drip machine, and if have had no problems overall, I love it. But sorry, not sure whether it is consistent enough for an espresso machine

I just buy espresso grind coffee, making sure that arabica beans are used 100%. But, I am not a coffee connoisseur by any means. You will have to wait for the machine to cool almost completely before you use it again. My biggest reason for having at least two of these.

Hi. You can use any coffee ground from beans to espresso fineness. You can also use pods but freshly ground coffee is best. Enjoy.

They have oil, because I purchased an espresso blend. But they are not oily like thst of an Italian roast, nor of a heavier darker espresso

I have never had a problem with dark and oily beans. We often use Starbucks darkest - the french roast, and never had a problem.

You are correct Espresso is fine ground. I use it all the time without any problems. Just make sure you clean the bottom of the pot (filter) carefully.

No. I specifically selected these beans as they are dry enough to use in my super-automatic espresso machine. I have had no issues with oil clogging up the machinery.
