Really cheap if you can get it delivered…
from their website:
Designed for the home barista, perfect for all milk-based coffees. Downtown is our seasonal coffee, sourced and roasted specifically for the home barista.
Roasted darker to accommodate domestic equipment, Downtown is tailor made for milk-based coffees.
Referees get $10 off 1st order of $60+. Referrers get 100 points.
Fixed, thank you!
Cheap! How long do you think these would last on a shelf unopened? I just bought a couple of kgs elsewhere.
3 weeks-ish, I just opened my second 1kg bag,
I have to change my grind size to compensate for beans aging towards the end
keep them in the freezer and they wont age anywhere near as fast.
Yes, I am scooping ~200g beans out at a time and keep them in resealable bags
the rest of the 1kg bag in the freezer
Best to store them in individual packages (single portions). Otherwise condensation occurs as soon as you oen the lid.
They sell golf tees for $2. I added one to my 2kg Downtown order which brought it over the $50 threshold for free postage. Plus, I play golf so win win!
looks like free shipping is based on the original price, not the cart price. as even 1kg of downtown beans at $24.80 qualified me for free shipping.
grabbed some golf tees anyway though because it'll be a nice reminder of my bargain hunting when i'm having a bad golf game!
Probably because you are in VIC.
good point - i really should read titles closely before commenting!
Seems a fair few of their products are 50% off once in cart
Yes. Only Downtown at 60%.
Grabbed a kg to try, comparable price even with the $5 delivery to airjo
Better than airjo imho
Airjo used to be my go to daily drinker, but I've switched to downtown.
Great results every time and good for milk coffees. Not bitter, chocolatey and smooth.
I'm a decaf drinker 90% off the time (love coffee, but don't need the caffeine), but Downtown is my new go to for a caffeinated brew! Forgiving and hard to go wrong with. As you've said great for milk coffees and, in my opinion, long blacks too!
As for their decaf products, I quite like it, but wanted to compare a bit more to Airjo, but lucky for Inglewood, Airjo are always out of stock of their decaf. Yet to be determined which is more preferred.
Still a pretty good deal with $5 shipping to QLD
Why is it that Downtown is often discounted to 60% off but Sunset Blvd is rarely discounted beyond 50%?
according to the insider guy, sunset is their best seller..
my take: dont need to discount further if it's already selling!
Ordered… 1st time trying.
How does it compare to Airjo enterprise and Limeblue M2M?
Haven't yet tried the 'Thank You Blend' I've got, but am disappointed with the Lime Blue decaf.
Due to smoothness and consistency of the brew, have enjoyed Downtown a lot more than expected - prefer it over most Airjo beans I've tried (still enjoy Airjo, though).
Airjo enterprise is high on the chocolate scale, low on acidity, and much stronger than downtown. On the other hand, Limeblue M2M is more on the acidic side and I would prefer Downtown or Sunset blvd over it any day. Have you tried Limeblue's Sao Paulo SO, I suggest you try that next time it comes up on special as well.
I have tried the Sunset Blvd and can vouch its really good, comparable or slightly better than Airjo/Limeblue (to my liking). Never tried the Downtown as its a dark roast
Any clue re when this BF discount wraps up?
Any better than Aldi dark roast?
Depends on how you drink your coffee. I like Aldi's medium roast for milk-based drinks; this is definitely a step or 2 above that. Inglewood has been consistently delivering good beans with Sunset Blvd being one of my favourite and this is a close second.
definitely give the aldi luxe blend a try, its been my go to and is perfect for any coffee tasks.
IMO Downtown is much nicer.
Anyone looking for alternative roasters to the usual OzB rotation, I'd recommend giving Ranges Coffee a go (not associated). Not on sale, but not unreasonable for a taster pack.
Still waiting for delivery of last promo. 9 days and not yet picked up by courier.
Yeah expect slow delivery with this one.
When does the sale end?
I'm not seeing this price, was it a price error which has been fixed or am I missing something?
Roasted darker to accomodate domestic equipment
Does anyone know how dark this is? My domestic equipment is towards the higher end of the range, and I don't usually prefer dark.
Perhaps someone who's tried both can compare it to the ALDI Luxe blend.
Price is $24.80 not $24
