Cheap beans will act very differently and it’ll be hard to dial in as you might not be able to make a nice coffee from them at all! Buying a kg of espresso beans from YB is a good way to go. Reasonably priced and it’s worthwhile just getting practise at dialling shots in. You’ll waste way more coffee otherwise.
If it’s a light roast, it may be tricky to dial in anyway!
Also, I take it you are weighing the beans. Right?
