This much loved Canadian brand is finally shipping to Australia. It is a bit pricey, but for 2 bags you 7% off on top. I used to get them from one of the American goods suppliers, but they were always close to expiry. This one arrived fresh and good.
CamelCamelCamel.
Only if you like eating Poutine on a snowy day.
But yes, I love it. Especially in a Drip machine
Yes, that’s the question!
Freshly roasted coffee for ~$33 kg, or old coffee from the other side of the world for ~$50 kg. Hard decision.
That’s gunna be horse piss! And doesn’t Canadian drink it anymore?
Just talked to my Canadian mate. He said it’s nothing special, just typical American/Canadian coffee. Not worth the extra bucks! He wouldn’t recommend at this price. I am happy to buy it via Amazon Warehouse when it’s down to $15. Better get fresh Australian coffee for half the price.
LOL no Canadian would ever call Tim Hortons American/Canadian coffee.
But yeah, if its something you like to drink, its worth the price. I got mine with 7 day of the order, and it fresh with expiry into may next year, so I assume it was roasted in May this year.
I don’t care if you don’t believe me but Horton’s is something like Starbucks in Canada. Not worth to get from Bezos warehouse. Who knows how long that was sitting there.
As a Canadian Inuit who lived 19 years in Yellowknife I can tell you Tim Horton's is nothing like Star Bucks. Im no fan of Bezos, but seeing as my alternative was buying it near expiry from an American goods supplier in Australia, having a fresher bag of Timmys brewing at home is worth the extra cost.
But hey, you do you popo, I will do me.
@eman resu: Tim Hortons choc powder is what makes Tim Hortons stand out. Thats some good stuff.
Coffee itself..well..it was the only coffee we could tolerate while in Canada (got mocha's stuffed with said choc above).
Starbucks on the other hand…my god. It was dirty dish water!
That being said, an American I worked with used to bring in Starbucks pods (what he was used to / grew up with), so some learnt taste bud action there. But every day I would offer him my comiserations for the desecration of his poor taste buds :)
I just asked my Canadian friend and they said it’s not worth the price and it’s the equivalent of getting excited at buying 7-eleven beans for $52/kg.
or aldi brazil blend for $17 a kg…..
Primo is better at 9.85 kg at the moment.
+10$ for del though
Have you tried Primo though? Reviews werent great last time I looked.
trash, i only got it freshly roasted in canada. this is old stale beans by the time it gets here. you are better off getting from a local roaster if you are going to pay this much for mediocre coffee.
This is the worst coffee I have ever tasted, when I was in Canada i preferred Starbucks over this and that is terrible too. But yeah not worth buying unless you are Canadian and just wanted some Timmys.
We're pretty spoiled in Aus with top tier coffee. I've had Timmy's in CA and it's just doesn't touch a good coffee in Aus quite honestly. I'd rate Vittoria Coffee beans over this
Not sure why there's so much negativity over the taste of this coffee. Not every bargain is for everyone so keep scrolling if its not for you?
I've never tasted this coffee and won't be buying it but it might not just be a cup of coffee for OP but something that reminds him of home and probably the same for another canadian ozbargainer living in Australia.
Great deal if you are a homesick Canadian who wants to remember their sh*tty stale coffee from back home.
"Ladies and gentlemen. The most important question in our company's history sits in front of us. One that'll define this company for generations. How many grams should we chuck in of coffee beans?"
Normal person- "Why don't we just put an even kg in? Consistent with our competitors and a perfectly normal number as an identifiable quantity"
"That is utterly ridiculous. Do you think we have all the coffee in Brazil. Is that what you think? Leave"
Voice from back- "908 grams?"
"That'll kill our margins! The extra ingredients, the shipping!! We'll be out of business before the winter"
Voice from further back - "906 grams?"
"Our customers will leave us in droves. Inflation gone mad they'll say. Barely enough for my morning cup of Joe they'll cry"
Sheepish voice from small child with Canadian accent "What aboot 907 grams?"
"Hire. That. Child."
Cue triumphant old de paso commercial style scenes
Why can't Americans/Canadians just use kilograms instead of this pounds bizo…. Just makes it weird for the rest of then civilized world with proper units of measurement
I have issues with the other imperial measurement of miles vs km also. Get on with the times!
As an Aussie-Canuck, never thought I'd see a Timmy bargain on OzB. Quality at Tim Hortons has declined over the decades and it's not even 'Canadian' anymore as it's owned by an American conglomerate. For example, most stores used to bake their donuts in-house but now they're all delivered in daily now. The percolated coffee is rubbish which is why ordering a 'double-double' (double cream & double sugar) is built into the Canadian lexicon. But it's good for a cheap fix and if you were a true Canadian OzB-er, you would be using their app anyways to get discounted junk.
Lived in Canada for many years. I drank a lot of Tims because it was dirt cheap, but then McD's and others started matching the prices and my friends and I much preferred the other offerings when going for a cheap drip coffee. Tims was still passable (as long as the pot was fairly fresh) but compared to Aus offerings and even other Can ones, I wouldn't pay more than $10 for a 1kg bag.
Their Iced Capps in Summer, on the other hand… chefs kiss
Thanks OP. If you know, you know.
Is it worth the premium?
