Alter Ego or Super Ego?

The age-old question we get asked all the time, finally answered.

"Which roast is better for espresso?"

Alter Ego is a dark-medium Ego - very smooth & balanced. It is the gold standard of espresso at Thou Mayest, used in all our cafés. Definitely our most popular espresso, but also shows versatility brewed any way you like.

Super Ego was developed to be a deeper, darker Ego. This one will stand up to anything you throw in the cup - cream, sugar, flavored syrup, anything you want - without compromising on taste.

The answer? Well...thou mayest. The way is open. Choose your adventure. You really can't go wrong!
