How long is a while with your previous experience? 6 weeks is probably the absolute limit.
best before September 2023 it only had 3 weeks or less left if i remember correctly.
agreed.
i did the same thing. old stale beans. zero crema could be produced. i only buy when there is a sale on freshly roasted beans now. you do pay a little more, but a zillion times better.
Cheaper than aldi now,and I don't mind these for aeropress at work, thanks OP!
Yeah but at least with Aldi you can check the roast date & decide if you want to buy or wait for a fresher batch to hit the shelves.
Also it's not cheaper than Aldi Dark Roast 1kg $11.99. Medium roast is $14.99.
Last time I checked I couldn't find roast date in Aldi beans? Is it a somewhat cryptic code?
on the side somwhere, hard to read but its there
on the side, below the expiry date. Roast date is YYMMDD
Thanks, I couldn't see any dark roast at my local Aldi last week so was going off the $14.99 price.
Yes these are a bit hit and miss with roast date but they're mass market so I can forgive a month or so older, I'm obviously no connoisseur of coffee!
I assumed dark and medium would be the same price, and the brazil aldi is 17.99 at my local one.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
missing an arm, here you go …. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks. I prefer the Smooth and they are also same price.
whats the roast date on these?
Others are also available but you may have to search. Eg "Very Strong" aren't listed in the Harris store for me but are the same price
if you want freshly roasted beans you wont get them for $15 per kg.
these are good for people who like coffee and want something bit better then instant
if your picky - look for some inner city roastery that will charge you $60 per kg
So $50 per kg no good?
wow $60/kg! This economy is not discouraging people from expensive habits.
I will stick with my nescafe blend 43.
$60 is cheap - try this, you will fit in with all the Tesla drivers

it would be a waste if you arent drinking your coffee as unsweetened black a majority of the time.
It's way more than a bit better than instant. Honestly, I've had plenty of $50-60 per kg beans that have made worse espresso than these Harris beans. I've had better as well, but it's hard to quantify those $60/kg beans as being 4x as good as these.
look, I agree - Im an Aldi beans person and for last 2 years my wife has been making me a coffee by underdoing and never cleaning the grinder - I still thought it was good….but BOY, now that I bought scales and cleaned out and adjusted the grinder, its Caffe quality to me!
if you want freshly roasted beans you wont get them for $15 per kg.
You can get beans at Aldi that have only been roasted a couple of weeks prior.
For ~$15per/kg I find these beans to be the best value for money. Really enjoy the taste of the smooth flavour.
The bag i got last year on sale for similar price was awesome and fresly roasted. Bought it again a few weeks ago at same price and the bag arrived a month away from expiry. Tasted like ass. Threw it out. Luck of the draw.
how do you know what ass tastes like
Try before you cried…. XD
Got the smooth one delivered today expiry Jun 2024 - it will be good enough.
Aldi / Coles is a better option for the same price?
i thought that too, until i bought it. not impressed. great cheap price though. i only buy freshly roasted beans now. it makes a world of difference.
Last time I think I got it for about $13.60. When it arrived there was a hole in the bag. I put the claim through to Amazon and they sent me a replacement bag for free
In my personal experience Harris coffee beans tastes really bad. I much prefer the $12 coles coffee beans than theirs.
I know quality and dates matter.. so I must be a heathen for having no issue with marked down $4 for 1kg of Brasilia with a best before of May, straight espresso from a french press. The caffeine hit is still there.

Got these once and were useless in the espresso machine due to age. Maybe ok for plunger/aeropress.
Amazon price matching any LGA Colesworths?
For $15.50, I'd want to check the roast date
Had these before ..I think they were $10 or something close to that … ALDI dark roast is definitely better, unless I'm getting a pack from an independent roaster I usually just stick the Aldi ones.
I'm going baller next time & will try the Aldi Colombia 1kg $18.99.
any on the shelf stuff isn't good if you have taste buds. freshly roasted locally is the way to go. it is an absolute game changer.
Be aware that these have probably been sitting for a while so wont be as fresh as newly roasted packets.
How do i know because i have bought coffee from amazon before and they have been sitting for a while so i don't buy coffee from amazon anymore. just mt 2c worth
