No. Most espresso blends are formulated for brewing under pressure, which is why they taste great in an espresso machine. But other coffee, such as Arabian Mocha-Java, also tastes great in an espresso machine. The key is to experiment and have fun testing what coffee you like the taste of in your espresso machine. Most decaf coffees are decaffeinated using a chemical process. Those chemicals then go into your body when you drink the coffee.
