Oddly Correct: Kansas City's Specialty Roaster for the Flavor-Forward Drinker
Oddly Correct operates a roastery and café in Kansas City with a no-compromise approach to sourcing and presentation. The name is a signal: their coffees tend to surprise you in ways that turn out to be exactly right. The catalog on CoffeeByMe balances two anchor blends with a varied roster of single origins that spans natural-process Ethiopians, washed Colombians, and a naturally processed Brazilian—plus a carefully sourced Costa Rica limited release that demonstrates what the Black Diamond natural process can do with Catigua.
LEVIATHAN, their flagship espresso, combines Colombia, Brazil, and Ethiopia into a dark-roasted (level 5), full-bodied blend with cherry, dark chocolate, and apricot. It is built to perform with milk and is a textbook example of what a well-structured espresso blend should feel like. CHEAT CODE takes a different approach—a medium-roast (level 3) all-purpose blend pairing natural Ethiopian sweetness with washed Mexican crispness for a full-bodied, jammy cup that works in every brewing method from French press to pour-over. On the single-origin side, the Ethiopia Natural Process (raspberry, limeade, milk chocolate) and Colombia Pro Tejo Natural (red vines, hibiscus, papaya, tropical fruits) showcase Oddly Correct's preference for fruit-driven, high-clarity coffees. CoffeeByMe's recommendation feature can point you toward the right Oddly Correct release for your preferred brew method and flavor profile.

Roast Profile & Flavor Range
Oddly Correct's single origins sit predominantly at medium roast (level 3), with the Ethiopia Natural roasted slightly lighter (level 2) to preserve its berry and citrus brightness. The two blends diverge intentionally: CHEAT CODE at medium gives everyday versatility while LEVIATHAN at dark (level 5) delivers the weight and sweetness demanded by espresso with milk. Both are full-bodied (body score 5 and 5 respectively), which is a distinctive signature. Across the catalog, fruit-forward notes—raspberry, papaya, hibiscus, red grape, cherry—are the dominant flavor language, balanced by chocolate and caramel anchors. Pricing runs $22–$32, with the Las Lajas limited release at the premium end.
