How do I make espresso coffee that is strong but not too strong?

I have been blessed with a black coffee and roasted coffee beans. I enjoy strong coffee, I had to have espresso, but sometimes it is so strong, it tastes too bitter for me. I like my coffee strong but not bitter. Any suggestions on how to dilute the bitterness? I did 10 cups. How many balls coffee, I could try? I was 2 1 / 2

    The first response you received is mostly right. Many of the dark espresso roasts you taste in coffee shops were roasted to work with commercial grade machines. Thus, your dark roast coffee is not suitable for espresso in your home machine. You may want to try a medium espresso roast for your home machine as you will find the strength of the brew without the bitterness.

    A great website to get nearly any answer about coffee and espresso is http://www.coffeegeek.com

    Good luck.

    Cut it 1/2 scoop at a time till you find the richness you are looking for.
