I try to get local, but I caved once and got some Onyx Coffee Lab and let me tell you, that was some of the most underwhelming coffee I've had. They must have the good reddit bots because it seemed well recommended there and there wasn't a single blend of the five I tried that was better than what I can get locally (SE Michigan).

They excel with single origin coffees. Their blends are just okay.

I used to be local to Onyx. I really enjoyed their coffees. They are pretty pretentious, though.

I've had coffees from them that tasted like peach black tea and it was mind-blowing they have done some amazing stuff in the past but I've only ever gotten their single origins

Same here. I've tried two so far. The first one was gross. The second was... coffee. Not good, not bad.

I usually order from Trade and most of the time what I get is excellent.
