Nicholas
It's ok for a more classic espresso prolfile... I feel like it would be great in milk beverages, like cappuccinos/lattes, but i rarely make those. i normally drink my shots straight and for my taste i just find this too dark for that.

I don't always stop to leave a review but this coffee is really tasty! I typically dose 18g and grind appropriately for single pour-over, achieving ~12 oz in 3.5 minutes. This tasting notes are right on, as advertised.

Mike
A good traditional comforting latte. Chocolate and nutty/toffee flavors.

Milton
The coffee was too dark. I liked the beans that were nutty and light that tour were sending before.
8/11/2020

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

Adam
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.

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

Callie
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

Eugenia
Not bad, but there wasn't much memorable about this.
8/22/2018

Ralph
Of all of the roasts that I have had so far, this has been the best. So rich, and strong flavor.
8/12/2018

Laura
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

Nate
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

Vincint
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

Corey
Mellow and chocolatey, good body.
3/27/2018

Alexander
Didn't thrill me.
3/12/2018

Manuel
Loved it! Easily one of my favorites for Espresso so far.
1/26/2018

Clint
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

Blake
heavy and flat. rated 3 because it is not my taste but isn't bad.
10/22/2017

Caitlin
Didn't notice anything that stood out

Did not like this too much

Jeremy
Bold, rich flavor with no bitterness. We love this coffee.

V Kipp
Very tasty coffee, although it was milder than I typically gravitate toward.
6/30/2017

Heather
Palatable for sure, but a little flat and boring. Not much depth.
6/20/2017

Mark
Delicious. My wife called it intriguing.

Second batch I received pulled beautifully through the whole bag. Not an aggressive flavor - smooth, rich and chocolaty,
5/30/2017

Kyle
Loved it!
5/10/2017

Brie
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

Sarah
Lots of chocolate flavors and a lighter roast. Easy drinking and enjoyable as espresso or a cappuccino.
4/3/2017

Kate
It was good, if a little forgettable. Nothing "wow" about it.
3/23/2017

Matthew
Best espresso we've had to date!
2/22/2017

Tom
A nice strong coffee with hearty flavors.
1/30/2017

David
Truly a delicious coffee. Very smooth with grape flavor. Would definitely recommend.
1/24/2017

Frank
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

Brenda
This was really rich and aromatic without the Tar taste one sometimes gets.
