Edit: deal is now expired, but I will leave the order page open on the deal page for anyone that wants to order 4x 1kg at $39.97x2 = $79.94 (same value, I just have some larger courier satchels left now). Perfect if you want to get a family and friends or office group buy together, or you need a larger quantity for yourself or work.

(MODS: I haven't updated the title and don't think I should. If you think otherwise, please modify. )

What you get:

After a trial, I have decided to send ALL coffee orders in boxes, where previously they were sent in satchels. This move is costing me money, but it is the result of a business decision. So, I have a bunch of courier satchels that are left over and need to be used. This is where you can benefit. Get yourself 2x 1kg bags of Forte Coffee beans (Whole Bean only - no preground), individually packed inside a courier satchel, delivered to your door free, for $39.97 total price.

This offer will NOT be repeated and is for the OzBargain community. Once stock is exhausted, this offer will be marked as expired early - obviously this is running at a good loss.

2kg Forte coffee beans Whole Beans only.
Free Delivery

Everyday price: $73.40
OzBargain price: $39.97

EDIT: just to clarify, the coffee is fresh roasted, just the courier satchels are existing stock. You will get two 1kg bags of fresh roasted coffee inside a courier satchel.

Edit: deal is now expired, but I will leave the order page open on the deal page for anyone that wants to order 4x 1kg at $39.97x2 = $79.94 (same value, I just have some larger courier satchels left now). Perfect if you want to get a family and friends or office group buy together, or you need a larger quantity for yourself or work.

      It's existing stock of satchels, not beans. He'll still roast them when ordered.

      • stumo on 23/01/2013 - 10:47

        This is a great deal. Good timing too.

        I will cut it into 250 gram valved baggies then squeeze 'n freeze them.

        Seems to work well as long as you let them thaw fully when still sealed.

        • lostinsydney on 23/01/2013 - 12:18

          you shouldn't freeze coffee beans! for long term storage you need vacuum seal.
          once coffee beans are roasted, they need 1-2 week to mature. after that they are best consumed within 4-6 weeks.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/01/2013 - 12:29

          mate, where do you get your information from? I agree with not freezing…but the rest???

        • lostinsydney on 23/01/2013 - 14:08

          toby's estate was my orignal source. i found this out 6-7yrs ago, and since then i've spoken to quite a few roasters from beans drinking in crows nest to blue bottle in san francisco.

          i haven't bought toby's estate in last few yrs but i remember that had something like this on their bag that stated - best before 4 weeks from the roasting date.

          the best way to tell is taste it yourself, and not what i or others say.
          moreover i said best consumed within 4-6 weeks, and that doesn't mean that coffee is going to taste like crap. most likely it will still be good but not great!

          coffee beans once roasted is a perishable food item.

          I wouldn't listen to commercial roasters for a start, I'd rather get impartial advice from sources that have no vested interest. Or better still… proper double blind research…

          +1. Thats why I squeeze and freeze. And most importantly to fully thaw while still sealed.

        • lostinsydney on 23/01/2013 - 16:04

          like i said, i no longer buy from toby's estate. 6-7yrs they were boutique but now they are commercial. i don't like their beans anymore.

          fyi, beans drinking is a small shop in crows nest and i don't buy from them either because they charge too much.
          these days, i usually buy single origin or micro lot coffee freshly roasted beans.

          if you don't believe me, and you don't have too, you can google it for yourself or have a chat with roaster.

      • schwinn on 23/01/2013 - 11:53

        Found someone to go halves with so all sorted :)

        I shouldn't have discarded my old zip lock valve bags from previous roasters, should've just wiped em down… stumo where do you get your supply of bags?

        • stumo on 23/01/2013 - 15:32

        • unknown on 23/01/2013 - 15:34

          You can get valve bags from the BeanBay on coffeesnobs.com.au. I think Coffee Parts also sells them but might be only in bulk.

      Your problem in not living alone - it's not drinking enough coffee. Start having 8-10 of them a day and 2kg will be gone in no time!

      • abcdefcuk on 23/01/2013 - 14:05

        having too much coffee too frequently is not a good idea :)

        that said, i love coffee. but i love my health more.

    I'm going to say that James has some of the best customer service out there. Also Forte is one of the best blends he has, so this is an excellent deal. Just a note on whole beans though, don't even bother with the Hario Mini Mill, it takes me more than 5 minutes to grind enough coffee for one pot.

    I'm still working through my 2kg from the last deal, so I'll pass this time. But still +1 from me.

    Quick help please. First time ordering from Bay Beans. Does anything else happen after I paid with PayPal? It did not ask for a delivery address (just defaulted to my PayPal address), there was no redirect back to Bay Beans, no "register for an account", no "thank you".

    • digitalaxon on 23/01/2013 - 14:09

  • [Deactivated] on 23/01/2013 - 15:29

    Are all your beans arabica? Also, could you make a deal for crema as well, not a fan of Forte.

    • Store Repbaybeans @ Bay Beans on 23/01/2013 - 15:33

      All are 100% Arabica, EXCEPT for Crema - it has a high quality Robusta bean in the blend. A high quality Robsuta is much better than a low quality Arabica, actually, nothing to say its any less than a high quality Arabica either. Base your decision on the quality of the bean first.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/01/2013 - 15:47

        Then I'll be sticking to Crema if it's a high quality Robusta blend. More caffeine per gram is a good thing on my watch.

      You've nailed it - Fastway ;-)

      Here is a nice little trick, its a directory with the drivers and mobile numbers for every territory. Plug in your postcode, get your drivers mobile number and name and call him/her direct. Beats the heck out of going through customer service. Call from 7am for best effect.
