Do you or the people in your office need a lot coffee to keep on running?

Well, when it comes to finding the best coffee, the folks at Bay Beans have swum the Amazon, wandered Kenya, drunk over 400 billion cups of coffee and tasted over 1,000 different brews. This may not be entirely true but it gives you some idea as to how dedicated Bay Beans is to bringing you the best in aroma, flavour and finish.

  • Hand roasted to order – roasted just before it is sent, your coffee will maintain a depth of flavour that will be hard to find anywhere else
  • An exotic coffee bean variety – each month for the Premium Reserve Bay Beans select a single exotic coffee bean variety. September’s selection is from Guatemala.
  • Shipped within 24 hours of roasting – so you could be enjoying your freshly roasted gourmet coffee within three days of purchase

    $25 a kilo is pretty good, however just bought myself this for $29 + $10 delivery for 2 kilos :P Tastes pretty good for the money

      They're pretty old stock.. "Roasted in April 2011" which makes them 4 months old at barest minimum - probably more like 5 months old!
      This offer also comes as 2x1Kg packs rather than 1x2Kg pack.. which means that your already stale beans will get worse the further down the pack you get!
      Frankly, 2Kg of coffee is too much for a household anyway unless you work at home and have multiple coffee's a day.

      • bemybubble on 13/09/2011 - 08:48

        your right 2kg is too much for any household, but for our office its great :D tastes perfectly fine too and im a big coffee monger :D

      • linnaen on 13/09/2011 - 19:12

        5 month old "Freshly Roasted" coffee eh?

        /think I will pass

    the $77 per kilo is artificially inflated and baybeans can and has offered his wares for less than $25 a kilo previously

    not a deal, this is not special price its just another advertising platform its bizzbuzz now, and was another group deal earlier

    • ESEMCE on 13/09/2011 - 08:45

      That's what I originally thought, but it must be their Premium Blend on offer.. it's the only item that adds up to $154/2Kg

      • dealhunt on 13/09/2011 - 15:13

        Not always "inflated" price means premium quality!

    • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2011 - 09:05

      yes sounds like more BizzBuzz spam

  • Timski on 13/09/2011 - 09:05

    I'd love it if they just sent out a tin of International Roast.

  • Natt on 13/09/2011 - 09:07

    This whole thing has done its day before, there is no way the "original price" of this coffee is accurate

    Well just to give you an idea $27.95 a kilo you can get something like

    http://www.byronbeans.com.au/coffee-online/whole-bean

    although you have to pay shipping

    Anyway if you like this deal fine, go nuts voting for it

    Just don't invite me over for coffee

    too tired .. need .. um .. coffee

    sigh

    • stumo on 13/09/2011 - 09:51

      I thought you said that coffee was rubbish last time?

      • chiuy on 13/09/2011 - 13:53

        I bought byron beans last time they had a deal here on ozb.
        And yes, it was pretty bad.

      • Natt on 13/09/2011 - 22:12

        Here was my review at the time:

        Post 1 - well I got the beans yesterday, but it was too late in the day for caffeine

        tried the "light" beans this morning

        way too weak for my tastes, but nothing wrong with the coffee

        I'll report back more when I try the dark roast

        Post 2:
        thumbs up for the darker roast, a bit smoother than my normal coffee.

        I am guessing thats because its fresher!

        http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/43873

        so no not crap

        From memory it was a little "fussy" though

  • bemybubble on 13/09/2011 - 09:16

    I wonder if it was BizzBuzz who artificially increased the value of the goods or baybeans? have seen cases where these group buy sites change a few things around :S

    • stumo on 13/09/2011 - 09:52

      IIRC, on his last direct bargain post, bayBeans got roasted for saying RRP of $45 or $49 or something.

  • Daabido on 13/09/2011 - 09:26

    It's the price of their Premium 500g bags delivered x 4. So yes, technically accurate.

  • Risty on 13/09/2011 - 09:27

    As i've said on similar deals in the past, the cost listed is not only false but horribly inflated.

    A kilo of the best blends in Australia cost no more than $45 (some great blends for as low as $35).
    I can even import some amazing blends (roasted) for no more than $45 a kilo.

    The only beans truly valued at $77 a kg or so are much awarded CoE beans (think the world's best) and very rare Panamanian Geisha's.

    • Daabido on 13/09/2011 - 09:30
      +1

      I agree, plenty of great freshly roasted coffee available for about the $35 mark (coffeesnobs.com.au) for example.

      As for imported pre roasted blends, they would have to be pretty amazing to be fresh enough after postage to enjoy.

      • Risty on 13/09/2011 - 13:54

        I get beans from England that get here within 10 days of roasting, so they've still got a week (or a little more, depending on the bean) of quality coffee in them.

        They're also cheaper (with shipping) and give me access to some pretty unique beans.

  • stumo on 13/09/2011 - 09:49

    The trouble is, bayBeans got totally flamed for saying his last deal had RRP of $49. He was selling it for like $22 shipped. But that didn't matter to a few users, they just wanted to do a bit of roasting of their own.

    So now we are stuck with crap deals from faceless middle men, and their over inflated deals (and RRP)

    Well done guys. You know who you are.

    • AntMan76 on 13/09/2011 - 10:50

      The same people who probably had no intention of buying from BayBeans anyway.

  • Store RepBizzBuzz @ Bizz Buzz on 13/09/2011 - 10:53

    Just to run you through how we arrived at the value we did. We have expressed the price as, Daabido said, by taking the price of Premium 500g bags delivered and multiplying by 4. We took the approach of what someone would pay if they ordered from the Bay Beans website today. This is the best indication of the actual price we could find on the Bay Beans website. Assuming a discount for larger quantities we still believe it represents a great deal.

    If there is somewhere else on the Bay Beans website or a better way of calculating actual price, please tell us and we will update the deal accordingly.

  • Natt on 13/09/2011 - 11:03

    Well the "actual price" really depends on baybeans doesn't it

    I agree at the moment if you went to the baybeans website and ordered 2 kg of "Premium Reserve coffee beans" then thats the price you would come up with

    But stop and actually think how much that is a kilo, and then ask yourself is that actually a sensible price?

    I would do a bit of reading on previous "deals"

    gosh at $49 its not even compelling

    • AntMan76 on 13/09/2011 - 12:21
      +1

      If you buy 2kg how much will you pay from this seller?????

      Now can you stop and think about how else the regular price is meant to be achieved, and therefore how much is being saved.

  • stumo on 13/09/2011 - 11:42
    +1

    This is great coffee, I've been on this particular blend for over 4 months now. And I've just bought another batch here as I'm running dangerously low.

    Thanks to you Natt I have now had to pay $25/kg for this, instead of $19/kg which you torched James for offering last time direct, well done.

    I'm pretty sure James doesn't get any of my extra $6/kg, so it will only serve to encourage all these dodgey as group buy resellers we're being inundated with. I'd rather have James back any day, than 20 of these fly-by-night group buy type resellers. But I can sure see why he's had enough of OzB http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/42277.

    /rant

    • Natt on 13/09/2011 - 13:33

      thanks to me?

      thats funny

      Well how about you drop an e-mail to James and ask him for a rate sans group buy

      and interestingly the post you quoted the RRP of 2kg of "premium coffee" was $95.80

      • stumo on 13/09/2011 - 13:42

        I think you are the only one here who's interested in the RRP of "premium coffee".

        The rest of us just want good coffee as cheap as possible, which was $18.50/kg in that deal. Now its $25/kg for the same thing.

        Thats real funny.

        • Risty on 13/09/2011 - 14:10

          Any time a new deal bobs up with an inflated RRP, OzBargainers are all over it, so why should this one be different, stumo?

          I see no harm in stating that, at $77 a kilo, it's the most expensive blend i've EVER seen (and i've had coffee all over the world) and even more expensive than many of the worlds best beans.

          Information is king and i for one appreciate it when my fellow OzBargainers put deals with hyperbolic RRP's into perspective because it puts me in a better position to know whether it's a good deal.

        • the discombobulated… on 13/09/2011 - 14:23

          Not arguing RRP here. All this is over the selling price which, according to google cache, was at this price a week ago.

          Now, having drunk coffee that came out of a cats anus I can safely say that $77/kg is not the most expensive coffee around. :) That said, I would not buy coffee at $77/kg. At $25/kg I probably would if it's good stuff and I drank enough to justify the quantity.

        • stumo on 13/09/2011 - 14:30

          Its different because its "premium" coffee. Its like asking how long is a piece of string.

          $77/kg is what this middle man has worked it out to be in this deal, based on 500g bags or something. If you wanted to buy it directly, thats what you will pay, its right there on baybeans website, its their normal selling price as of right now (not sure if anyone actually buys it at that price but meh).

          Last time it was RRP of $49/kg for the same thing from James directly. And he still got flamed for somehow overstating it, even though there were links provided to plenty of "premium" coffees for much more than that.

        • the discombobulated… on 13/09/2011 - 14:40

          Yeah but $77 is what's on the actual website. Middleman did not pad that unless they planned this a week or more in advance and there we're getting into nutty conspiracy theories. So…

          It's $154 for 2kg direct from supplier or $50 for 2kg via middleman.

          5 months ago+ it was $38 for 2kg PLUS POSTAGE.
          4 months ago+ it was $40 for 2kg PLUS POSTAGE (around $9 - GASP!)
          3 months ago+ it was free delivery on 500g plus half price for the next order of 500g.

          Meh. Much ado about nothing.

  • Risty on 13/09/2011 - 14:28

    I said the most expensive blend i've seen, mate, not the most expensive bean i've seen.
    Kopi Luwak is terrible, anyway.

    $25 a kilo is a good price if the beans are fresh and are of decent quality, absolutely, but $77 a kilo? Not a chance.

  • Risty on 13/09/2011 - 14:52

    I don't know about anyone else, but i never said the 'middleman' had inflated the value, just that the value is grossly inflated.

    The best roasters in the world barely charge even half that for their best blends, and i've never once seen a blend costing anywhere near $77 a kilo, so it's very obviously grossly inflated (unless the blend is made up of top 5 CoE beans, in which case they'd be shouting from the rooftops).

    BTW stumo, after following your link (it was before my time here), 'James' didn't post links to premium coffees that cost 'much more than that', he posted links to two very exclusive single origin beans (which is a totally different cup of tea, or coffee) than blends, neither of which even cost the '$49' you mentioned, let alone $77.

    Look, if you're a fan and enjoy this coffee that's great, but there's no need to so vehemently defend what are very obviously inflated RRP prices (which are ALWAYS called out here on OzBargains).

    • stumo on 13/09/2011 - 15:01
      +2

      I'm not defending the RRP, I couldn't give a toss about RRP on something as subjective as this.

      My point was that this continuous bickering over RRP has ended up raising the actual deal price of the coffee, and I'm not too happy about that.

      BayBeans is pretty much the only supplier who gives great deals on here, or I should say gave.

      Where else can I get someones "premium" coffee for sub $25 shipped, please, I'm all ears.

      And I can't get past the irony. All the original flaming over RRP, and what are we left with? Even higher RRPs and worse deals. Yay.

      • the discombobulated… on 13/09/2011 - 15:31

        Where else can I get someones "premium" coffee for sub $25 shipped, please, I'm all ears.

        When did you get it for less then $25 shipped from baybeans?

        http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/52793#comment-591677

        • stumo on 13/09/2011 - 15:46

          April this year. I got 4kg for $87.90 shipped. By my calculations that makes it $21.98/kg.

          Now its $25/kg for the same thing. What's it going to be next time?

          That's why I'm all ears for a new supplier, but I don't want crap, I want a deal for their best coffee for $25 or under. Do you have any suggestions?

  • Risty on 13/09/2011 - 15:26
    +1

    I wasn't around when the stuff you're talking about went down so i don't know what that's all about, but whilst you may not care about whether an RRP is accurate, some do, so such information is always valuable.

    Once again, $25kg a good price provided the beans are fresh, roasted well and are of decent quality, but again, that wasn't the issue we were discussing.

    • AntMan76 on 13/09/2011 - 15:52

      How is their RRP not accurate based on purchase of 4 x 500gm bags?

      http://www.baybeans.com.au/premium-reserve-coffee-beans.html

      • Risty on 13/09/2011 - 15:54

        As has been said numerous times, no one said the rep's RRP was inflated, just that the RRP itself is inflated.

        • AntMan76 on 13/09/2011 - 15:57

          In that case, next time Lindt chocolate is posted as a bargain I will be sure to compare it to Cadbury block chocolate and neg the crap out of it.
