Firstly, sorry for all the inconvenience last couple of months. Back to normal operation from September and fixed outstanding orders and finally back to Ozbargain. We did business restructuring with new managements. We will ensure this won't happen again, and I sincerely apologise.

10% off for referrer and referee.
Think it's per 2kg
It is, but thats before the "discount"
Yup I see what slo was saying now. Think I need to get a cup of coffee down me before I comment 😳
If you buy 250g packs at a cafe, you’ll pay around $15-18, which per kilo is this. Shipping also has a cost.
Having said that, usually it's a single Origin at this price but maybe this is a very good blend. I’d buy it to try but I still have a fair bit of beans left. Last time I bought more at this stage and my new beans sat in the cupboard for a month or more and lost character.
I like the platypus logo of Normcore.
Comparing 250g costs to 1kg cost isn’t really a fair comparison, just like OP has 500g packs which work out to be higher per kilo.
Last I checked, a lot of the 'specialty' roasters across Australia are around the ~$60-65/kg range for their espresso blends, more for their SOs—-and these shops virtually never have discounts. IIRC the highest I've seen in supermarkets is Campos in the $50 range, then there's a noticeable price gap to all the other supermarket beans and OzB favourites.
Free samples, so we know how good the coffee is
May I know where to get free samples?
Is there still the golden dingo blend or that has been discontinued?
Cheers OP, gave the orange sugar blend a crack.
thats damned expensive coffee if not for this 50% off deal. Tryign it out tho, alchemy is normally my go to
Love normcore. Used to go to their store near Wynyard before it closed, now I get their Damn Good by subscription. Great blend for a milk coffee.
The orange sugar is also great, but recommend that for black coffees only. YMMV.
Confused between Cornerstone and Damn Good. Any suggestion?
Main difference is the roast level. Damn Good is quite a dark roast vs the medium Cornerstone.
Hi @normcorecoffee2016 when are orders likely to ship. I ordered on 23.11.24 and still no updates.
Not a good experience. I've ordered from a lot of coffee roasters before and never have I had one not give a single update a week after ordering. Most ship out next day or day after. If you are under the pump due to sales at least let the customers know.
I ordered on the 23/11 and haven't received an update on this order. I thought after last time you guys were on top of it ??
Will be my last time ordering from you guys.
Any update on when these are shipping?
I ordered on 26/11 and heard nothing. I think I'm done with Normcore.
No update from their side, no option to modify order, Looks like a scam after I dig down old posts and got this notice of winding up
https://publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-notices/no…
omg. time to try chargeback.
How can we? I disputed the transaction but what other ways we have?
FYI - I have received the funds back into my account after a chargeback. It is 'conditional' if they challenge it, but I don't see that happening…First and last time I buy anything from Normcore, crooks!
We will ensure this won't happen again,
Not exactly off to a great start.
Their Facebook and Insta are flooded with people saying the same thing (Even since the September issues were supposedly resolved). I've submitted a chargeback.
Lol they just sent me a promo email now saying their subscription service is working again. Yeah good one guys.
no word here either, order confirmed as soon as placed, but no shipping info yet.
any chance of an update?
also waiting for order from 23 nov, not a word from normcore..
Same no word, no update. Looks like either a scam or the business is going under.
Ordered 30/11 with no updates, comms or replies. Anyone else had any luck yet from the BF sale? Strange for me as I had a seamless experience with ordering from them in October..
I’m also awaiting an order. No comms.
Previously they have been great so a little concerning.
I have been successful with a credit card chargeback. Others might want to consider it. Bunch of crooks, never again.
really hoping they have not stolen my money, have also tried with the card chargeback, was really looking forward to nice coffee at Christmas.
I can’t imagine too many paying $64/kilo for coffee.
