For home espresso I would buy small bags first, around medium roast, and dial in before blaming the beans. Fresh roast date matters more than fancy packaging.

I bought an expensive grinder so now I basically have to drink coffee to justify the purchase 😂 not helpful, but true.

Medium roast + fresh bag + good grinder usually beats buying the most expensive beans in the shop. Also somehow every coffee hobby ends with buying a scale 😂
