Onyx Coffee Lab Monarch Whole Bean Espresso Coffee Blend – Medium Dark Roasted Coffee Beans Whole – Coffee Whole Beans w/Notes of Dark Chocolate & More

I have a Breville espresso machine and bought a bag of these beans to try out. What I enjoyed was the flavor. It had the right mixture of smoothness and acidity. The container kept it fresh. I loved the smell of the beans they had a great aroma. I would say overall the quality is solid. Buy a bag see if you like it, you can't go wrong here.

This is very good coffee with a light and fruit taste.

Great roast and blend for a pour over. Try smooth and no bitterness. I use a 15:1 water to coffee ratio with a chemex pour over. I pour right off the boil, Bloom for 30 seconds top off to 200ml of water let it settle a bit and then pour the remaining 100ml. Terrific flavors and wonderful aroma. Low acidity roast when brewed as above.

While this is good coffee in my opinion it is not an espresso type roast. The coffee makes a very smooth americano but lacks bold flavor. I tried a couple of pulls and gave the rest away to a friend. The flavor to me is very floral and earthy.

I know Onyx lists this as a more traditional coffee, which it might be, in the grand scheme of things related to specialty coffee but not as a whole. It does have that chocolatey tasted buried deep down inside, but I get a lot of berrylike acidity with a hint of something floral. In a latte it has a unique flavor, sweet but fruity. So, if you want something that walks the line of modern and traditional, I think this might be a good choice for you. But if you want a nice cup of nostalgia, at a much higher standard than commodity coffee, maybe try their Eclipse instead. Both are good for different reasons.I know it says medium-dark but, for me, it is medium at best. And I know it is listed as being intend for milk drinks, but I like it as a straight shot best. More of a lungo to be specific.Having said all of that, it is a good coffee, for the right person. I will buy it again.

This coffee comes out light brown/CLEAR! It tastes SOUR and so tannic. I lime my coffee to be so 'thick' that it almost has a filling quality. This is like hot sour water. The beans are so dry they have lost all their natural oils and likely their rich flavor. Do not buy this coffee if you like it dark, rich and creamy.

Best coffee Ever! Perfect with a tablespoon of heavy cream!

Delicious flavor! The beans are fresh and of excellent quality, and the packaging is designed to preserve their freshness. If you’re a true coffee enthusiast, you’ll definitely enjoy this brand.
