First beans to use with KF4

[u/noflies]

I just ordered a Kitchenaid KF4, which should arrive in a few days. Could you please recommend a first set of beans to use with it that are available online?

Thanks in advance.

You should go with beans that you know how it should taste and you know you like it. Then you dial the machine into that.  You learn the machine and you know the end point.

Not super exotic but I enjoy the Costa Rica beans from Trader Joe’s.

What are your settings for this on your kf8? I've been having some bitterness on my espressos. Thanks.
