Roasts to order · ships in ~1d

Your bag is roasted after you order; expect a short delay before it ships, but it arrives as fresh as the roaster can make it.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. 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.

About Onyx Coffee Lab

Community reputation · Reddit

Well-regarded· sentiment 82/100

Onyx Coffee Lab is widely recognized as a major name in specialty coffee, frequently referenced alongside other top-tier roasters like Brandywine and Tandem. Redditors often turn to them as a benchmark for high-end beans, light roasts, and popular blends like Monarch and Southern Weather, though some debate their pricing relative to home roasting or other commercial options. Their consistency in bean sizing and roast uniformity is also noted by home roasters using them as control samples.
