Ideally yes. Espresso roast beans are roasted in a way that they have good body and high solubility. This allows your espresso machine to extract all the good stuff from the coffee at ease. Good roasters will always find the sweet spot between solubility, body and flavour in their roast profile to ensure you brew an espresso that always tastes sweet and memorable. However, with the evolution of specialty coffee, there are now no borders in the world of espresso, and you can achieve all kinds of funky flavours in your espresso. You can even try filter roast coffee beans in your espresso machine if you have a grinder and understand the dialing in process in detail.
