Saw this at West Ryde Coles where they had coffee beans on special.
The coffee beans discounted were:
I'm not sure if this is nationwide
That's an amazing price for any coffee!
Wonder if any Victorian Coles have the same, I'll have to take a look tomorrow.
How many packs were there when you left?
3 Bags of Harris Whole Beans, and around probably 5 or so Harris ground beans. I think there was like 3 for both caffe aurora coffee whole and ground
Chances are they're probably sold out by now then.
I picked up 6kg of several different brands of beans last week at Wollongong Coles. Staff said they're not stocking those brands anymore. Keep an eye out nationwide.
What is the expiry date?
The ones remaining on the shelf were around jun/2020 for Harris whole beans.
Caffe Aurora Coffee Italian Style 1kg (Whole & Ground)
Wonder where are they grown and what kind of beans they are for such a price, must be robusta and not Arabica I guess as their other products have Arabica all over the packaging.
Not many good reviews, origin and content is still a mystery.
Ever heard the expression "don't look a gift horse in the mouth"?
I just like to know what I am drinking, that's all. Here's informative post on robusta vs arabica which answers on why it is cheaper and where it is most likely produced if someone is wondering like I did
I'll help you out, the Harris coffee is way better for espresso coffee. Aurora is often $10/kg and is pretty weak across the board, Crema, flavours etc. They plug it as an Italian bean "blend". At $10/kg it isn't the worst coffee (ie Robert Timms beans are worse). Put it this way, if ALDI beans are $11-$12 per kg, I'd rate this coffee value at $8/kg. So at $3/kg it would be a good 'only got 10sec to down a coffee at work' coffee'.
Or they could just be on clearance.
