First you must understand the person in charge of selecting the bean blend and the roasting recipe is called a Roast Master. When creating an espresso blend to be selected by a coffee shop owner, a Roast Master will follow an espresso "recipe" or "roast profile" to bring out the desired flavor and qualities that brand an espresso's taste. Espresso bars usually serve the espresso blend that is common to their region.  A Roast Master will use a well practiced combination of bean mass temperature, smell, color, and sound to monitor the roasting process, as the coffee bean blend peaks in flavor for that specific recipe. 

The Espresso Blends are from a number of places such as:

• Brazil
• Dominican Republic
• Mexico
• Peru
• Panama 

Lesser amount espresso blend bean comes from:

• Colombia
• Costa Rica
• Guatemala
• Venezuela

To make a recipe more complex a Roast Master may add one or more of the following:

• Ethiopian Harrar
• Kenyan
• Yemen Mocha
• Zimbabwe
• Zambian

• Asian Pacific
• Sumatra

Do all coffee shops and restaurants serve the same flavor and strength of espresso?

There is only one way to answer this question correctly. We need to explore the espresso segment of the coffee world and learn more about coffee selection as a coffee shop owner decides what type of coffee bean and espresso will headline their cafe. We will also look at the challenges facing restaurants and coffee shops in obtaining less common flavors and how espresso strengths are determined. Most coffee drinkers don't know how many types of espresso beans blends there are or where espresso originates.  
What is espresso? We will look at what is and what it is not.

1. Espresso is method of brewing coffee using finely ground coffee, and pushing high pressure water through the bed of coffee.
2. Espresso is not a type of bean, any coffee bean can be used to make espresso. Espresso comes in blends or mixtures of different coffee beans.
3. High Pressure Extraction is the most common method used by coffee shops to create a cup of espresso; the act of forcing hot water from the boiler though ground coffee, which in turn “extracts” flavors, oils, colloids, lipids and other elements create the cup of espresso.
4. Espresso blends come from the mixing of specific coffee beans and how they are roasted.  
5. Professional roasters will have blending goals in mind for specific espresso flavor. The roaster will choose the best bean blends and best roasting levels to attain the desired flavor.
