    Which store is that? Clearance items aren't always at every store.

    • Its at Epping. Doesn’t look like a clearance item?

      • +1

        .97 cents suggests that it is.

      • items ending with .97 is usually selected stores only, if not local

        • Yeah, I've also run into the "manager's specials" at Ipswich. They write the price onto the sign but it's not in the system. You have to take a picture of the price so they know what to put into the register. I really only found that out recently. Wonder how many times I've paid the regular price…

  • Bought few weeks ago from Costco Marsden Park for the same price

    • Is it good????

      • It's alright for the price

  • i'M IN A RUSH TO get a cup of caffeee

  • I was in Costco Moorabbin last week and saw this for full price.

    • can confirm was full price on Saturday

      • It might just started only today as the new catalogue circle.

  • Anyone tried this and compare with the ALDI one?

    • Aldi is better from my experience.

    Not very good.. can't recommend

    • Thank you!

      What did you dislike about it?

      • It might have been a different one, but I found they are so old and stale by the time they go on clearance.

    Good price. Shits me that Aldi increased their medium roast beans from $12 to $15, but left the dark roast at the same price.
    Coles still sells beans for $12/kg, but they start with Dark roast and go from there.

      The Aldi medium roast beans are 100% Arabica, however the dark ones are not (Arabica & Robusta mix), so it makes sense now to reflect in price. I tried the limited edition Brazil beans and found it very nice and fresh for $17.

    • Weirdly, I prefer the dark. I think the medium is just too fruity. Obviously just my opinion. The dark is such great value for money.

      • Because Arabica is more mild taste compare to Robusta which has more caffeine and stronger flavour. 100% Arabica does not mean coffee taste better.

        • According to Google: Arabica tends to have a smoother, sweeter taste, with flavour notes of chocolate and sugar. They often also have hints of fruits or berries. Robusta, on the other hand, has a stronger, harsher and more bitter taste, with grainy or rubbery overtones. All coffee shops use Arabica beans, so must be a reason.

          • @huntabargain: Many people might enjoy fruity mild flavour but I like my coffee strong.

            • @itstuan: The info of the beans you are posting here states:
              Our promise to you is that every single bean is 100% Arabica, 100% organic and 100% fair trade. So may be this is the wrong beans for you?

              • @huntabargain: I didn't buy this haha. Still got some beans at home. Just posted for someone who might be interested.

      • I’m on the Medium Dark atm.

        Started on Coles medium roast - but switched to Lazzio at Aldi because you can get single blend (finding these harder to get at my local) for a few bucks more. And with Aldi you get the roast date stamp.. 2022mmdd so I don’t pick up anything more than 2-3 weeks from roast date.

  • I thought Australia not going to be republic?

    • +2

      Certainly not with that sense of humour

  • would it help to get rid off dog/cat digging my backyard?

    • +1

      Yes, if you drink enough coffee. You'll stay awake all day/night to stand guard your backyard from dog/cat digging.

  • With a use by date in 12 months means these are already a year old.

    I love everything Costco except the coffee. Been caught too many times. Aldi beans for the win.

    • I haven't bean caught yet, giving these a try

  • About 40% left at 3pm today, I'm assuming mostly gone by tomorrow or the next day.
