is there a difference between espresso beans and coffee beans?

i am not asking about preparation or grinding of the beans… just the beans themsleves. is there a difference? for example, can i make espresso from coffee beans if i use an espresso machine and they are ground to the correct consistency?

Can you make espresso with coffee beans?

I just got a new espresso machine — but I have no espresso. Would it be at all feasible to use coffee beans to brew espresso, or is this useless? What’s the difference? If I end up using coffee beans, should I be using a light, medium, or dark roast?
