I like involving the popular stores/venues with the meetups. This time is our OzBargainer favourite roaster Inglewood Coffee. So let's see how many cups of coffee you can consume for free! They also can give a roastery tour. Hopefully our meetup can align with a sale so we can pick up some deals as well.

Date: Friday 15th November 2024
Time: 12:30pm
Location: Inglewood Coffee, 23 Lionel Road, Mount Waverley

    • Firefly on 25/10/2024 - 15:23

      Thank you for,organising! If I could get a XL, I would be very appreciative.

    will there be any discounted coffee on the day??

      You would rather discounted coffee instead of free coffee?

        I’m referring to beans

      They've read this post and I suggested they can comment here however here is what they said:

      We can definitely organise a special deal on coffee beans for all those attending.

            @sween64: Hey @sween64,

            Unfortunately alternative milks are not part of the exclusive sale.

        • sween64 on 11/11/2024 - 11:55

          Any chance of 60% off Sunset Blvd? That's my favourite.

      • frkino on 30/10/2024 - 12:59

        @Inglewoodcoffee Cupping session avaialble as part of the roastery tour? (asking for a friend !)

          Hey @frkino,

          Happy to offer the tour of the roastery and give everyone a good insight to how it all works but unfortunately we will nothave a cupping session running.

          • frkino on 15/11/2024 - 19:19

            @Inglewoodcoffee: @Inglewoodcoffee Thank you for the rostery toiur, William. You did a great job! Thank you for your time and sharing bits of what goes into the Inglewood products !
            @neil Thank you for organising this event. Happy Birthday OzBargain :))

  • RoadZilla on 22/10/2024 - 11:47

    So there wont be another at Fortress Melbourne?

    • Baysew on 22/10/2024 - 12:19

      We are in the dark.

    • neil on 22/10/2024 - 12:20

      It's on the 14th but I'm awaiting them to send an invoice from them so we can put deposit and confirm.

      • CereaL on 22/10/2024 - 17:06

        oh this is a tough choice … I'd like to go to Fortress (as I'm waitlist from last year) … but this Inglewood Coffee would be fun too …

        But then there's Dumplings!

        And you can only select 2 … too many choices!! :D

  • Duckie2hh on 22/10/2024 - 15:17

    So how do these ozbargain birthday gatherings work (from a cost perspective)?

  • TukangPijat on 23/10/2024 - 10:17

    Looking forward to seeing you all.

  • sween64 on 23/10/2024 - 13:22

    I’m keen but it depends on the time.

    • neil on 23/10/2024 - 16:46

      OK, put down 12:30.

      • sween64 on 25/10/2024 - 13:59

        I should be able to that work. Thanks for organising neil.

      • sween64 on 31/10/2024 - 11:43

        Is there an attendance limit? I’m not sure if I’ll make it on time. If we get close to the limit I might bump myself to the waiting list, I don’t want to take someone else’s spot.

        • neil on 31/10/2024 - 14:06
          +1

          No. Given the space is outside (hoping weather is OK!), should be fine with no limit. Also, with no deposit and on a weekday, probably won't get all of the 39 people showing up.

  • hashtagbargain on 24/10/2024 - 02:00

    How are you all taking off on a weekday? I’d love it to be weekends or evenings.

    • neil on 24/10/2024 - 10:58

      Unfortunately they are only open M-F until 5pm.

      Also, do we want to be drinking lots of coffee at night? :0

    • Craze on 24/10/2024 - 21:15

      I was wondering the same- either attendees work/live locally or planning to have the day/half day off? 😁

      I would've signed up but weekday + timing means a no. Next time!

    • sween64 on 25/10/2024 - 14:04

      I’m a shift worker and happen to have that Friday off :)

    • daalinz on 25/10/2024 - 15:29

      Working from home. Will go during lunch break.

  • jediknight on 24/10/2024 - 07:59

    Thanks for a fun event! Got to try a variety of coffees, and will definitely be going back.

  • slashor on 15/11/2024 - 15:15

    Thanks for organising Neil. Nice to visit a local roastery.

  • slingyz on 15/11/2024 - 15:20

    @neil thanks for letting me join on short notice!

  • lostincanberra on 15/11/2024 - 15:27

    @neil!

    Many thanks for organising (& thanks to OzB for funding the extravaganza).

    First get together I've attended and loved the tour! Learned heaps.

    Much more my style than other ways to do meetups…

  • lainey13 on 15/11/2024 - 15:33

    Thanks Neil for organising. Hope there's another one here next year, to stock up again on the teas. The bags are large and last a long time :) Great local business to support!

  • Dinjay on 15/11/2024 - 16:27

    Thanks for organising - it was great to meet fellow ozb addicts :)

  • SupeNintendoChalmers on 15/11/2024 - 16:59

    Thanks for organising, Neil and thanks for the great tour.

  • kevjutsu on 15/11/2024 - 18:03

    Thanks for organising Neil and everyone that was able to attend the tour.

    Felt like an OzBargain picnic at the start with heaps of coffee and toasted sandwiches :)
    It was a great roastery tour - it was very interactive, engaging and heaps of fun!

    • neil on 15/11/2024 - 18:44

      Yeah, William did a great job. Might have convinced me to upgrade from my ALDI coffee beans.

      Also what a cool job he has. No idea how anyone there falls asleep with the amount of coffee they "test".

  • specks on 15/11/2024 - 18:36

    Thanks for organising neil & scotty for funding my coffee addiction <3

  • daydream on 15/11/2024 - 23:48

    Thanks again Neil for organising it and Scotty for funding it! Great event with the added bonus of the tour and of course the chance to meet and chat with other friendly OzBargain members!

  • crikey on 16/11/2024 - 09:05

    OzB IRL was a lot of fun. Thanks neil!
