At 200 g, this bag runs about 5% more per ounce than a typical 306 g bag; that is pack size, not the coffee.

How this estimate works

A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Noted

Sparse signal

Confidence2 of 7 signals on file

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 85.8 shrunk to 70.6 + bonuses = 73.

Two independent Reddit threads provide limited but strongly positive evidence for Onibus Coffee. One commenter called Onibus legitimate while noting its location away from usual tourist routes. A separate detailed report called its Ethiopian Chelelectu fantastic in both a cafe V60 and a hotel Aeropress, prompted a bag purchase, and ranked it as the writer's best Ethiopian coffee to date.

    Yes Onibus is legit, although they’re located a bit away from usual tourist spots. Also try Glitch for fanciest stuff ever, Mameya for a one-of-a-kind experience and Maruyama Specialty Store Omotesando to be spoiled by choice. Cafe de L’Ambre or Chatei Hattou for an authentic Japanese coffehouse experience (and if you.

    I am visiting Tokyo, so I went a About Life Coffee Brewers in Shibuya. Tjhey serve Onibus coffee, and some coffee from a few other roasters.
