>> “Sumatra,” which I get expresso grind

Tried that, didn’t work for me. The Espresso and Italian roasts are interchangeable as far as my tastes go.

“Sumatra” is the coffee type, expresso is the grind that I use, extremely fine, but not quite Turkish grind. Italian roast is less bold than the French roast. Starbucks sells an expresso roast whole bean coffee, I’ve never tried it. I like their French roast, too, and bought it until I tasted the Sumatra. If you didn’t like the Sumatra, because it is too bold, I can see where the Italian roast might be more to your taste. Jeez, I sound like an obsessive coffee nerd. I’m not, I’m really not....
