Espresso is generally made with an espresso roast, which is quite a bit more roasting than typical for drip coffee and will burn off many volatile compounds that add a certain amount of complexity.

Accept that different coffees are different.

Yes, you're right, roasting and bean have a strong influence. Illy and other specialty coffee vendors also blend beans to optimize the espresso outcome.
