  • Roasted to order?

    Keen to try so hoping for free delivery.

    • Hi m9,
      Thank you for your enquiry. We don't yet offer Roasted to Order, but it's coming soon.
      We are selling below cost as introductory offer, will be challenging for free delivery at the moment.
      Apology

      • When were these beans roasted?

        • The remaining batch is from 20 March 2017 roasting.
          Thank you.

          @ozcelco:

          Don't know if I should laugh or cry.

        • @m9:

          Oh. My local guy is apologetic if beans were roasted two weeks ago.

  • Doesn't feel like a bargain to me when beautiful tasting beans can be bought from established and well known Melbourne based roasters for $15 / 250g.

    • Hi @thedragon,
      Yes, we are trying to push our cost down.
      Hoping to get some support from coffee-lover community in Australia to increase our volume to push the cost down.
      Hopefully you would give this exotic bean a go and taste it yourself, and I hope you would find it worth it beyond the price.

      • Fair reply.

        We love coffee and feel spoilt for choice.

        If you can offer free delivery while you bulid up a name for yourself, I'm sure that you'll get a few punters. And if the beans are good, and quality roast, you may get return customers.

          Hi thedragon,
          Talked to the boss.. we do free delivery once-off.
          Let me update the site.

    This isnt a good deal at all. Indosnesian beans are around $9-$13 per kg unroasted.

    $25 RRP is extremely rich and you'll never get that.

    For those that roast: Order the sulawesi blue - $13.50 a kg. Same profile.

    For those that dont roast:
    $15 for 250g - https://aslancoffee.com.au/product/sulawesi-toraja/
    $13 for 200g -

    $23 for 350g -

    My vote would be on veneziano hands down!!!

    If you want to experiment buy a popcorn machine and roast yourself. Its how i started back in 2011.

    • Thanks for the information neofelis.
      Our cost to the farmers for the greenbeans of this champion sinlge origin is around that before transporting them to Melbourne.
      We are working to push down our price.

  • Thank you and I appreciate the awards from AEKI/AICE.

    Have you thought about grading from ASCA/AICA/ACTA?

    • +1

      Definitely will put that into agenda.
      Will update you (and the community) once we have the grading.
      Thanks again for your feedback.

  • People at work think I'm a coffee snob because I have a basic manual machine (BES grinder + EM7000) instead of doing the very un-OzBargain thing and fork out $15~20/week on coffee, but lucky I'm not a coffee snob cos I would really really have to enjoy the coffee at $15 for 250g.

    That said I've been meaning to try to buy a Manna pack deal but usually have lots of coffee to finish each time they come around.

    • +1

      I adverage 0.31 cents for a double shot of coffee (yirgacheffe)
      12oz bio cup and lid (disposable) - 0.15 cents.
      12 oz milk (354ml) = 47c

      Total = 93c for better than cafe quality coffee.

      Beans roasted on demand - by myself.

  • +3

    why would i pay $15 for a unknown internet vendor of coffee ROASTED A MONTH AND A HALF AGO?
    thanks, but I'll be buying my single origin from Campos for the same price. roasted to order.

    and you come in here acting like $24 for 250g is a realistic RRP. for shame.
    simply put - do not buy these stale beans. the only thing getting roasted today is this deal.

    • Everyone please take thumby's advice. There is no way you can get a decent cup out of 6 week old beans…

      • Unless they were frozen. You don't lose that much from freezing

        • Hoping @OP would be able to advise on this as I'm keen to try the beans, especially with the now offered free shipping but with roasted coffee beans being most optimal around a couple of weeks post roasting, these beans can be considered stale as mentioned on the above comment…this is what's kinda putting me off in hitting that add to cart and purchasing.

        • Why would you freeze your beans if you're setting yourself up as a boutique roster???

        • @petec_7:
          I was talking in general

        • Hi all,
          Apology for not responding earlier.
          Have been running around the whole day.

          Thank you so much all for your feedback.
          We will definitely take them on board for our future improvement.

          Now, the following is my personal opinion…
          I am not a coffee connoisseur. However, I tasted enough coffee to know good ones.
          Good roasted coffee beans in my opinion, stored properly would definitely last more than 4 weeks.
          The one we are selling here are sealed and we store them in air-tight cabinets, which holds the aroma.
          I personally drink this too, and store them in a glass jar, after more than 4 weeks, there is admittedly insignificant lost of taste, aroma and texture.
          However that's probably just me. I respect others' view and taste-buds.

          For those who have ordered. Thank you so much for trusting us and providing us the opportunity.
          We will definitely work harder to improve all aspects of our coffee delivery to you.

          As of 9:05 PM, 3/5/2017, we have 1 bag left from this batch.
          Please lookout on our website for the next roasting (unfortunately not at this price and deal again).

          Thank you all again for your support.

          @blahoz:
          As my response below above, personally (and checked this with a friend- to slightly reduce my bias :o) I think there's some lost in aroma and texture, but wouldn't significantly take away the enjoyment of this coffee.
          Again, this is my personal opinion, which many might disagree.

          As of writing this, we have one last bag at this price and free shipping. We will not be able to repeat at this price. However, we will work hard by hopefully increasing our production and distribution volume.
          If you are interested, please submit your order at your earliest convenience.

          Thank you for considering.

        • @ozcelco:
          Will take your word. Have just placed the order and looking fwd to taste it :)

          Would this be recommended more for straight black espresso rather than with-milk?

        • +1

          @blahoz:
          Thanks, saw your order. Your coffee will be shipped first thing in the morning.

          Black-espresso = Definitely!
          Other variations (latte, Cappuccino, etc.) = Yes, it will do too.

          Enjoy.

  • Have bean without coffee for over a month, need this. At this price including delivery, its worth trying (for me).

    • Hi @norkle,
      Thank you for your support. Your coffee is on its way.
      Hope you will enjoy it, and will come back for more.

  • We are out-of-stock.
    Thank you all for your support.
