Starbucks is awful though
Earlier this year went the whole hog and got an espresso machine. Since then I've struggled to get "great" results from any of the Rave whole beans. I generally go for medium / dark roast (Fudge #5, Espresso #4, Colombia El Carmen #50). I work to a 1:2 ratio but find that whilst I can get reasonable espresso for Americano - (best results by pushing extraction to beyond 30 seconds with 1:2.5 ratio), none of them produce an espresso that works very well with milk based drinks). I find the taste is unpleasant or is completely masked by the milk.
I'm still learning though!!
My decaf choice is Kofra coffee in Norwich (https://www.kofra.co.uk/coffee) it actually smells and tastes like coffee, and their Joy coffee has a real stonefruit taste to it which I personally love.
