The coffee was too dark. I liked the beans that were nutty and light that tour were sending before.

Fantastic espresso. If you like a classic espresso profile, but more complex and modern... this is a bag for you.

Very smooth, delicious coffee. Strong taste without being too bitter. Great crema. Nuttiness comes though.

One of my all time favorites! I had some Alter Ego in my mix last year, and this one was every bit as good as the one before.

This was one of the best so far. Exactly what we like in a coffee.

I really enjoyed this coffee! It was beautiful as espresso (I just had to up the grind size a bit higher than usual) and excellent in an Aeropress.

Didn’t make espresso well. Jury’s still out on making drip but we mostly make espresso

too bitter
9/2/2018
Not bad, but there wasn't much memorable about this.
8/22/2018
Of all of the roasts that I have had so far, this has been the best. So rich, and strong flavor.
8/12/2018
This was the first mistobox coffee I have had where I just could not get it dialed in for espresso, even when it was new. Shots always came out too short or too long and bitter in either direction. I'm using the same grinder/process/timing that I use for every other espresso blend but I just could not make these beans work.
5/1/2018
Really not much flavor. I had to have 4 shots in an Americano to feel like I was drinking anything of substance.
4/7/2018
Not the best but not the worst- lacks a robust flavor that I prefer and is more on the light acidic side.
4/4/2018
Mellow and chocolatey, good body.
3/27/2018
Didn't thrill me.
3/12/2018
Loved it! Easily one of my favorites for Espresso so far.
1/26/2018
Very chocolaty base with not a lot fo acidity. This coffee by itself would make an excellent base paired with a nat Ethiopian for some added sweetness.
1/13/2018
heavy and flat. rated 3 because it is not my taste but isn't bad.
10/22/2017
Didn't notice anything that stood out

Did not like this too much
8/26/2017
Bold, rich flavor with no bitterness. We love this coffee.
8/12/2017
Very tasty coffee, although it was milder than I typically gravitate toward.
6/30/2017
Palatable for sure, but a little flat and boring. Not much depth.
6/20/2017
Delicious. My wife called it intriguing.
Second batch I received pulled beautifully through the whole bag. Not an aggressive flavor - smooth, rich and chocolaty,

Didn't like this coffee at all. Super bitter - missed the mark. Wasn't able to taste any of the chocolatey or nutty notes due to the bitterness and burnt taste of the beans. First bag of beans I've been really unhappy with at Mistobox.
4/10/2017
Lots of chocolate flavors and a lighter roast. Easy drinking and enjoyable as espresso or a cappuccino.
4/3/2017
It was good, if a little forgettable. Nothing "wow" about it.
3/23/2017
Best espresso we've had to date!

A nice strong coffee with hearty flavors.
1/30/2017
Truly a delicious coffee. Very smooth with grape flavor. Would definitely recommend.
1/24/2017
Alter Ego is all that it claims to be. The taste is smooth with definite chocolate notes. For those who prefer a less acidic coffee, this blend and roast profile is a good choice.
1/19/2017
This was really rich and aromatic without the Tar taste one sometimes gets.
