Espresso Machine Makers

I just bought an Espresso Machine. Can I use regular ground Coffee, or do I need to buy espresso ground?

It’s a Breville Espresso/ Cappuccino maker. I’m pretty sure it would taste better with espresso ground, but I’m thinking cheaper here. Can anyone help?

If you buy Ground Coffee at the store, it is typically ground for a paper cone filter. That will not be a fine enough grind for your machine. How is the regular ground coffee cheaper? Just curious here. I work in a coffee shop, so I haven’t actually purchased coffee in years. If all else fails, get the regular ground and tamp it harder. And, just FYI, a blade grinder will not yield a fine enough grind for espresso. A burr grinder is the only worthwhile grinder.
