This is nothing new, but I suspect a lot of people don't realise these are available, and that it's not "instant". Part of my morning routine involves picking one of these up and walking along the beach. After having one of these I can't justify $4 at the nearby cafes for a takeaway.

Update (thanks elliot91): These are free on Friday with any purchase*.
* Excludes tobacco and smoking related products. Limit of one free regular sized coffee per transaction per store per day.
Offer only available on 14 and 21 August 2015.

    Stack it up with a 2 dollar muffin and badabing-badabom you just spent $3 on a complete coffee shop experience minus the coffee shop & actual Barista coffee.

  • Matt P on 10/08/2015 - 13:28

    I usually prefer the coles express 80c double shot espresso ;)

    I find the hardcore coffee snob places make a very oily espresso and that isnt really to my taste. Coles/7-11 isn't perfect, but for the cost i'm very willing to deal with it

    • badarz on 15/08/2015 - 13:14

      Hi Matt Preston!
      I tried the 80c coffee at my local coles express and was impressed. The coffee tastes similar to 7/11 but the foam quality was far superior. Made for a nice creamy coffee.

  • knight on 10/08/2015 - 13:39

    if you use the bankwest ATM at the 7-11, which I do by just getting a balance, your coffee will end up being just a $1 with the receipt. NO further purchase required. Any day of the week.

    • aurotaro on 10/08/2015 - 13:54

      or don't use the bankwest ATM and still pay a dollar?

      • elliot91 on 10/08/2015 - 14:07

        what he meant to say is your get a large coffee (usually $2) for $1.

        • aurotaro on 10/08/2015 - 15:01

          That offer has been OzBargained for about 3 weeks now.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2015 - 23:23

      That offer is expired now. The current deal is one of those new Malteser bars for $1. Ironically they also have another special where the Malteser bards are $1 with any coffee purchase.

  • KP2015 on 10/08/2015 - 13:40

    If you have never tried one then I would recommend it. I find it is actually a decent coffee and much better that than some cafes I've been too. Also it's $1 so you can't go wrong! If you work only week days and drink coffee then that's only $5 for the week! Compared to cafe brought coffee which = $18.50 (assuming it cost you $3.70.)

  • Shiny Mew on 10/08/2015 - 13:43

    7-Eleven coffee is great for the price. Even ignoring the price, the coffee is fine (despite what cofee snobs may think) and tastes 9000x better than the worst coffee I've ever had - McDonald's' 'Espresso Pronto'.

    • montorola on 10/08/2015 - 14:01

      I agree with the McDonald's comment - it's watery as all hell!

    • theStinge on 11/08/2015 - 18:22

      Why not just go the McCafe route? You can specify "Cappuccino from McCafe" even at the drive-thru.

      • Shiny Mew on 18/08/2015 - 17:10

        Student Edge card promo could only be applied to Espresso Pronto rather than the McCafe variety. However, because McDonald's is apparently phasing out the former, it seems I won't be getting coffee from there again.

        • theStinge on 19/08/2015 - 08:44

          Nice - I hadn't heard of this Student Edge thing. Moot point now I guess.

  • jonathonsunshine on 10/08/2015 - 13:45

    It's $1 for a small coffee. If you get "grande" it's $3. It's not bad and to be honest I drink it all the time but more for convenience and time. I'd rather pay an extra $1.50 and get it from one of preferred coffee shops. Preferred meaning they make coffee that I like. For coffee out of a machine, it's not exactly a bargain.

    Heads up these are free on Friday with ANY purchase (ie. fruit is usually under $1).
    Another FYI: if you withdraw (or use in any-way) the BankWest ATM inside, you get a receipt printed off for a large coffee ($2) for the price of a small!

    These coffee's are pretty good, give them a try! :)

    Also worth noting the taste will definitely differ between different 7/11s. If you don't like one, try another.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2015 - 14:30

      On the taste front - I would have thought, being a big chain, they would use the same beans, the same milk, and have the same machine making it. Where would the variance be?

      • badarz on 10/08/2015 - 14:36

        There's at least two types of machines currently in use. Other variances could be freshness of beans, milk, water source.

    • wobbie on 10/08/2015 - 14:30

      true, I think if the machine is well maintained and operating correctly, it will be acceptable. Otherwise forget it.

    Being a tight arse, I was addicted to these when I worked in the city. I used to be a $4.50 moccha man but cant justify it anymore. Its not the best but add some chocolate sprinkle on top. They usually keep it behind the counter.

    I recently discovered the Caltex Aurora coffees. Wow, they are amazing for $2 and its my new addiction. Also, Woolworths near Central makes good coffees.

  • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2015 - 15:16

    Don't forget to get a coupon from the ATM using ING Direct to get the largest cup for $2 instead of $3

  • Jster on 10/08/2015 - 15:23

    For black coffee drinkers - Get some colleagues together and get a Nespresso machine at work. Initial expense for the machine yes, but then 50 cent (or less) coffees from then on. Each person buys their own pods. Quality coffee: tick, convenience: tick, no mess: tick, cheap: tick.

    I am an employee of a 7 Eleven Store. I can assure you all that everything is fresh. 3-4 bags of beans come every night. And by the next night, there is at most half a bag left. Milk is straight from the fridge and is the same what we normally sell to customers. I work next to a train station and people love the coffee. I put in new milk every 15 minutes. I am loving the comments in this thread.

    • fryandlaurie on 10/08/2015 - 16:49

      Is it true that some 7/11 employees are paid below the minimum wage? I was talking to an employee who said he was getting $14/hour :S

      • Associatedkkmenon1156 @ 7-Eleven on 10/08/2015 - 17:11
        +7

        Thats unfortunately right. I get paid below minimum. But nobody complains because these people are the only ones that give us immigrants jobs. I only work one odd shift to supplement my studies as I am in Uni atm. And in the tax return they claim that they are paying $19-20 to their employees. So the difference of $19 and what they actually pay us is just tax free income for them and it amounts to around $20k a year per store just savings from not paying employees minumum wage

      1. How old are the pies?
      2. Do you eat them?
      3. Do you recommend to eat the pies?
      4. What about the hot dogs?
      5. Tell us some more stories
      • Associatedkkmenon1156 @ 7-Eleven on 10/08/2015 - 18:08
        +12
        1. Pies stay in the oven for 6 hours. After that we have to throw them away.
        2. Yes. As soon as the 6 hours are done, I eat some of the pies as my lunch/dinner for that day for free. If someone asks, we sometimes give them free pies as well after the 6 hour expiry date
        3. Yes. They are fine if you want a cheap snack. Like everything else, they also come every night, so they are fresh. Once they are out of the freezer, they only stay for 6 hours in the oven like I wrote earlier.
        4. Hot Dogs come every night as well. Although, they are not very popular. So there are only a few hot dogs in the delivery. I haven't tried them personally, but they are definitely fresh like everything else.
        5. What sort of stories do you want. Homeless people deliberately dropping sugar wrappers on the ground or drunk people stealing stuff or about my owner, who is an asshole and pays cash to get away with paying less than minimum wage. In short, everything is messed up working at 7 Eleven. I would leave it as soon as I have some other job

    I'll definitely give these a go next time I'm near a 7/11. I generally prefer instant coffee (Aldi gold) and have never had a nice tasting 'professionally' made coffee despite many attempts and locations.

  • montorola on 10/08/2015 - 16:42

    So how much do you guys reckon it costs 7/11 to make a coffee?

    Inclusive of all operating/maintenance costs, are they still making a profit?

    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2015 - 16:45
      +1

      My guess would be some high traffic stores in the city may make a profit on this (but maybe not factoring in the higher rent) - however overall they'd be banking on the benefit of people just getting in the store / buying higher margin stuff.

    • Associatedkkmenon1156 @ 7-Eleven on 10/08/2015 - 17:13
      +7

      Here's an inside figure. It costs around 0.56 cents to make $1 coffee. We sell 300-400 cups on average a day. So it's good profit. The profit margin on $2 and $3 cups is way more than that.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/08/2015 - 04:59
        +2

        Do you know which costs are included in coming in at 0.56 cents? There are so many costs involved - depreciation of the machine, maintenance, wages for employees, rent, power bills, marketing.. list goes on

      • montorola on 11/08/2015 - 10:02
        +1

        Are you saying 0.56 cents (half a cent) or $0.56??

        Half a cent seems too good to be true!

          +2

          $ 0.56 I meant. Lol. These are just the direct costs. Fixed costs are not included obviously. This is only to entice people to come in to the shop. The real money is made from drinks, chips and grocery items etc. People would buy $50 worth of stuff at the shop while at Coles or Woolworths, it would only cost $20 for the same items. But $200 here, $200 in Opal Card recharge profits do help the cause

    Why are middle class people so obsessed with coffee? Coffee is to the middle class what cigarettes and beer are to the lower class.

    It is ridiculous that society promotes addiction to one sort of stimulant (caffeine through coffee or energy drinks) while vilifying another sort of stimulant (amphetamines).

  • tghtarse on 11/08/2015 - 10:11

    I went into the 7/11 Auburn Petrol station today and there were three sizes of cups - Small Regular and Large - Do you know if they charge $1 for both small and regular? How much for the large? Do you get large one for $1 if you withdraw from ATM?

    Also, I drink weak coffee - is there any trick on how to do that? I would love a Mocha but they dont seem to have one.

    thanks

    • nubzy on 11/08/2015 - 10:58

      If you use a preset cappucino/latte/flat white etc it is quite weak. I usually get a few shots of short black and fill the rest with milk as I like a stronger coffee.

  • drspy00 on 11/08/2015 - 11:57

    People laugh if I say 7 Eleven is my Favourite Coffee shop! I like really strong coffee so I can make it double shot at 7 Eleven, or just put less milk which they never seem able to do at cafes. My theory was proven when they had a coffee expert on a radio show saying 7 Eleven is the best bang for buck coffee around!

  • drspy00 on 11/08/2015 - 11:59

    We are proud of our iconic freshly ground coffee, but to keep pouring you the same quality cupful that we all know and love, we will have to increase the price in October this year, for the first time in 13 years.
    From Tuesday 4 October the price of our coffee will increase with a regular cup to cost $2. There will also be price increases across Slurpee, with a large to cost $1.50, along with Iced Coffee, and Hot Chockee.
    These price changes have been driven by sustained cost increases across the board which have made the existing prices unsustainable. Since launching our coffee over a decade ago, we have worked hard to avoid passing on costs, however this is no longer possible.
    As part of a broader effort to reduce single use cups, coffee drinkers who bring their own reusable cup in store will get a 50c discount.
    What will not change is our dedication to improving the sustainability of our coffee and packaging. In the next few weeks, we will be announcing some improvements that will reduce our environmental impact across the range.
    We will continue to provide you with great value and great quality while ensuring our prices are sustainable for our store owners, our suppliers and our communities.
    We value your ongoing support of the iconic 7-Eleven coffee, and we look forward to seeing you in our stores soon.

    $1 coffee gone soon……
