Coffee Spirits Onyx

THE MISSION

Onyx Coffee Spirits is proudly born and brewed on the Central Coast, NSW. They are dedicated to producing premium coffee spirits flavours, housing a coffee brewery and distillery under one roof. By leading the coffee cocktail revolution, pushing innovation and having a bit of fun at the same time, they’re dedicated to delivering the best coffee spirits products to Australia and beyond.

When talking about their home on the Coast, founding partner, Mitch Faulkner says “There’s a pace to the Central Coast that sets us apart from major cities. We can be meticulous with our production and enjoy the things in life that reflect our product; high quality living in a relaxed setting, great coffee and a few drinks with friends and family. We wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“As the world catches up to the trend of cold brewing coffee to extract the best flavours from the beans. We have been plying our trade for almost a decade, beginning with an opportunity to create Australia’s first coffee Liqueur.”

ONYX COFFEE LIQUEUR

Co-founder and Director, Matt Faulkner chimes in, “Our foray into the spirit world was ignited when we were approached to produce a coffee liqueur. Loving a challenge, we set out to not only create one but to show the competition we mean business. That original liqueur went on to win the first Gold Medal by an Australian distiller at the critically acclaimed International Wine and Spirit Awards.”

ONYX COLD BREW COFFEE

“Over five years ago the founding Onyx team were witnessing the rise of the Espresso martini as Australia’s favourite cocktail. And with the demand, came the need for a product that could alleviate espresso batching times. Our Cold Brew coffee not only solved this problem but also delivered a consistent product, free of additives and preservatives. With our team’s background knowledge of Australian coffee culture and the high standards associated, it was a natural progression to supply bars with excellent coffee”, mentioned Matt.
