Beans for the week

A short regional edit of fresh coffees worth brewing now.

Honduras Fredy Perez by Onyx Coffee Lab ProcessWashed

Onyx Coffee Lab · Coffee beans

Honduras Fredy Perez

Honduras · Washed · Filter · tart apple, pecan, fig, allspice

A washed Honduras with a savoury-sweet arc: tart apple and fig sit against pecan and allspice rather than heading straight for tropical fruit.

Ethiopia Mullugeta Muntasha Natural by Onyx Coffee Lab ProcessNatural

Onyx Coffee Lab · Coffee beans

Ethiopia Mullugeta Muntasha Natural

Ethiopia · Natural · Filter · ripe berries, floral sweetness, cocoa

A naturally processed Ethiopian counterpoint to the Fredy Perez: aromatic, ripe and structured enough to avoid becoming merely jammy.

Mexico Finca Santa Cruz Gesha by Onyx Coffee Lab ProcessWashed

Onyx Coffee Lab · Coffee beans

Mexico Finca Santa Cruz Gesha

Chiapas, Mexico · Washed · Light · yellow pear, chamomile, almond, vanilla blossom

Pepe Argüello’s washed Gesha pairs yellow pear and chamomile with almond and vanilla blossom; a delicate, floral option alongside the edition’s more fruit-heavy Ethiopian natural.

El Salvador Santa Rosa by Onyx Coffee Lab ProcessWashed

Onyx Coffee Lab · Coffee beans

El Salvador Santa Rosa

Chalatenango, El Salvador · Washed · Ultra light · white grape, plum, rose, milk chocolate

Jorge Raul Rivera’s washed Pacamara brings white grape, plum and rose over milk-chocolate sweetness, with an ultra-light roast that keeps the floral detail prominent.

MK Dripper & Plate – Onyx Edition by MK Studio x Onyx

MK Studio x Onyx · Manual brewing

MK Dripper & Plate – Onyx Edition

A handmade Danish ceramic flat-bed dripper with a wide column, bubble geometry and five drain holes.

MK Studio’s hand-built geometry gives the flat bed a sculptural body while the five-hole base leaves enough room to tune flow with paper and grind.

MK Carafe – Onyx Edition by MK Studio x Onyx

MK Studio x Onyx · Accessories & oddities

MK Carafe – Onyx Edition

A 500 ml handmade Danish ceramic carafe with a flared serving lip.

The companion carafe makes the edit feel like a complete table object rather than a loose brewer accessory, and its flared lip gives it a practical pour.

B&W Lab Filter Holder by Black & White Coffee Roasters

Black & White Coffee Roasters · Accessories & oddities

B&W Lab Filter Holder

A made-to-order modular filter holder with options for papers, a C40, RDT tools and a scale garage.

A genuinely useful piece of counter architecture: filter storage becomes a configurable station instead of another loose container.

Ear Mug by Heart Coffee Roasters x Martina Thornhill

Heart Coffee Roasters x Martina Thornhill · Accessories & oddities

Ear Mug

A characterful ceramic mug made with Portland ceramicist Martina Thornhill.

The little ear-like handle turns a useful daily mug into a recognisable studio piece without resorting to a printed logo.

B&W 90s Milk Glass Mug by Black & White Coffee Roasters

Black & White Coffee Roasters · Accessories & oddities

B&W 90s Milk Glass Mug

A compact milk-glass mug with a deliberately nostalgic Black & White graphic.

A small, inexpensive piece of roaster identity that leans into milk-glass nostalgia rather than the usual diner mug.
