Great little locally run business is offering a free first order of coffee beans for subscribers

Subscription starts from $22 per 250g, fortnightly or 4-weekly delivery. Cancel any time

Checked with the owner and he is happy for the ozbargain community to get on board, I know we all love a good coffee bean

Drop is a coffee subscription which delivers beans to your door fortnightly.

Each fortnight will be from a different specialty coffee roaster in Australia.

The goal is to support small roasters by connecting them directly with coffee drinkers through my subscription.

Next drop is this Monday and if you use code ‘DROP100’ at checkout before then, first order is absolutely free!

Free shipping always, cancel anytime.

Mod 25/1: The rep has not honoured the deal, see rep comment here. Cancellation emails have been sent now, see here. Moved to forums as an unobtainable deal.

    I would recommend the owner to put some limits to it - at the moment I can order 1kg of coffee worth $67 and get it for free, then cancel. I don't want to be predatory for small businesses like this.

      Mr Simpson did check with the owner in which I assume he defined clearly the term of potentially being OzBargained

      • john_conner on 21/01/2022 - 19:24

        Obviously not, because no one would want to send out a whole heap of free orders, then have subscriptions cancelled straight afterwards. Which is what is going to happen…

          Someone is about to get screwed.

          It’s either this small business (honouring the $67 free coffees with instant cancels) or Ozbargainers (complaining about cancels/unauthorised debits etc) and I don’t want to play in part in this.

      Not interested in buying anything, but I went checking for curiosity and I could add 10x1kg worth $670 and the code made it free…

    • Jimbuscus on 21/01/2022 - 21:10
      +5

      I had 1kg in cart, but with my experience 500g is best for me while keeping the beans fresh so I dropped it back to only what I needed.

      I'm worried this offer is going to be too generous and too large a proportion of this community is just after the free coffee without giving residual sales.

      I think they should have limited it to 1x250g.

  • rake on 21/01/2022 - 18:32

    Thanks for checking with the roaster, I have placed order for a 1kg bag to try them out. Cheers.

    Safe to enter cc details? No ABN, no phone number or address.

  • Clarky77 on 21/01/2022 - 18:42

    Keeps telling me card declined? No idea why the card is fine with about $5 in there currently should be plenty for verification?

    • dylanando on 21/01/2022 - 18:42

      Mine was $1.39

      • Clarky77 on 21/01/2022 - 18:46

        Tried for the 3rd time and it worked, I can't even see any debit from my account which is weird but good thing is it went through.

      • askbargain on 21/01/2022 - 18:47

        It’s actually USD $1.

    • easternculture on 21/01/2022 - 18:46

      Mine was $1.40
      Must be using an international gateway that uses USD

      Mine didn't work with 9 cents haha

      Don't worry. They won't ship it. Most likely they will call it an error and cancel your order.

  • ilovefullprice on 21/01/2022 - 18:45

    Thanks OP and owner! And thanks OP for checking with owner first.

    Ordered 1kg worth $67. Bank account can’t have $0 balance for the payment to go through. I transferred $2 into my bank account and the payment went through without deducting any money.

  • Clarky77 on 21/01/2022 - 18:49

    I could probably Google it but roughly how much coffee in grams is needed for a decent single plunger coffee?
    I've been drinking instant supplemented by aldi pods for so long I can't even remember how much I used to use?

    • Yve on 21/01/2022 - 20:24

      Generally my rule of thumb is 16g-18g in per cup of coffee. How much ‘out’ depends on the process used (Cold Brew, Pourover, Expresso, Drip etc). Also, I’m not sure whether you’re referring to an aero press or a french press by plunger coffee as I would not recommend making coffee with a french press. It’s a waste of quality beans and would use pour overs instead.

      I’d recommend french press if you like darker roasts and more bodied coffees however they’re generally not in this price range ($67/kg) as they should be lighter roasts (Also more difficult to properly extract with a french press). The darker Airjo blends will work quite well if you’re looking for something that’ll pair nicely with your french press.

    Thanks for the free beans. I'd like to believe in 2022 that anyone who offers "free" stuff has something to gain in exchange. Take advantage of this deal as it will likely be cancelled anyway and they gained new subscribers.

    • bagachin on 21/01/2022 - 18:56
      +3

      I like the fact that I can order 2 x “190gram” per bag, you won’t get that option anywhere. So if the beans are good enough for the asked price, I will be a return customers. I guess that’s worth something already.

  • hambar on 21/01/2022 - 18:56

    Tried these for a couple of deliveries (I think from Insta advertising) and they had a great sample of bigger name (e.g Mecca) and lesser known local roasters. Good stuff but too expensive for me long term

  • GaryG on 21/01/2022 - 18:57

    As much as I like a freebie and love coffee I feel bad about this when it is based on a subscription so I won't do it even though the owner is willing.

  • Jimmycfc on 21/01/2022 - 18:59

    To be honest as much as i want free coffee, i dont want to screw over a small business so i'll leave it.

  • kachi on 21/01/2022 - 19:02

    Thank you OP and drop coffee. I'm trying the smallest size. I've wanted to try these coffee subscriptions as I've seen a few pop up

  • Clear on 21/01/2022 - 19:12

    I won't be getting the largest size as I feel the owner won't be anticipating how many orders they'll be getting.

  • soggypotato on 21/01/2022 - 19:15

    also wont order since it might become a big mess

  • KaTst3R on 21/01/2022 - 19:18

    thanks op

  • willz on 21/01/2022 - 19:38

    Not sure what some people above said they only had $2 in their account so they don't need to worry, I guess they are using their VISA debit account? won't you get hit with an overdrawn fee by your bank?

          • Entheogen on 22/01/2022 - 08:00

            @J6: The refund of $2

            • J6 on 22/01/2022 - 08:47

              @Entheogen: It's free. I wasn't charged anything.

            • bobzor on 22/01/2022 - 08:51

              @Entheogen: It just holds the money for verification, it doesn't take it.

  • Japius on 21/01/2022 - 19:38

    Was looking for a decent coffee to order but it’s charged me the $1.44 and the checkout page just says invalid security code (even though it’s correct)….meh can’t be bothered spending more time on it I’ll keep looking for a supplier

    • Spilla on 21/01/2022 - 19:47

      Sounds like a $1USD preauth to make sure the card is legit for future shipments.

      • Japius on 21/01/2022 - 22:53

        Yeah I’m not too worried about the charge but it wouldn’t complete the checkout so won’t be getting the coffee to try

  • The Judge on 21/01/2022 - 20:27

    I'm looking for new beans, and although I was tempted to get 1kg for free I opted for 500g. I'm hoping they're worthwhile and might become a regular provider. If not, free beans. I appreciate the company giving us this chance.

    Not sure what is happening.

    I went through the ordering process but could not go through with the order when my conscience told me that I would most probably not order any more once I received the free coffee.

    Feeling good at the moment :-)

  • sleepyowl on 21/01/2022 - 20:29

    This was basically exactly what I was looking for recently, cheers op!

  • Jayblesz on 21/01/2022 - 20:36

    I was still on my timely subscription from the freebie last year. Time for a switcheroo! Timely had some good coffee…. Let's see how these guys go.

    That said, inb4 5,000 1kg freebie sub orders cancel after shipping confirmed🥲

  • Yve on 21/01/2022 - 20:48

    Deal seems to be a bit too good, I will not cancel immediately for free coffee since that's obviously not the intent for this promotion.
    Will try coffee subscription for 2 months before making a decision, hopefully it's good! Would love to support local roasters as well :)

    • kachi on 21/01/2022 - 21:13

      I've seen a few coffee subscription/coffee companies offering a free first pack (the ones i've seen you pay for shipping though), so not entirely unheard of

    • Jimbuscus on 21/01/2022 - 21:25

      I think they will go thru with regular non-greedy orders, not the ones who order 5x1KG at -100% discount.

      • Thrifty Dan on 21/01/2022 - 22:25

        No one orders 5x 1Kg that’s ridiculous. Even we at home drink a lot of coffee and use 1Kg per month. It’s best fresh!
