Hey Oz Bargain Community,

It's been a little while since we've posted a deal for our one-time purchase products and we've received a number of emails, messages and DMs asking about if/when we'll do a Black Friday deal…You asked, we've answered, drum roll please…the time has come for our Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal, see details below.

We're offering you a 40% discount off our much loved Brazil São Paulo Single Origin, Swiss Water Process Decaf Coffees and the famous AeroPress Coffee Maker:

1) Brazil São Paulo Single Origin, only $14.99 per 500g (usually $24.99 per 500g), and $26.39 per 1kg (usually $43.98 per 1kg)

2) Swiss Water Process Decaf, only $16.19 per 500g (usually $26.99 per 500g), and $28.79 per 1kg (usually $47.98 per 1kg)

3) NOW SOLD OUT The famous AeroPress Coffee Maker, only $33 (usually $55), a terrific gift to give yourself or someone else

Deal valid for orders placed until 28/11/2022, unless sold out before. You can pick from the available green circle dispatch dates on the cart page. Dispatch can happen for you as near as tomorrow (Friday) and as far as the last Tuesday in January. Once a given dispatch date is at full capacity the green circle will be removed and date will turn red, first in best dressed :)

Some helpful info:

  • You're welcome to place multiple orders scheduled for dispatch at various dates (delayed dispatch) to make the most of this deal, we strive to dispatch our fresh coffee within 48 business hours of roasting
  • One dispatch per order
  • If you select 500g as a quantity please ensure you also select 500g as the packaging option. If 500g is selected as a quantity with 1kg as the packaging selection the product will show as "unavailable"
  • 500g bag packing (it's resealable) is also available for orders larger than 500g this is an extra $3.60 per kg including the discount (normally $6 extra per kg) to cover the extra bag/s, label/s and time it takes to pack
  • Complimentary gift notes can be written in the "special instructions for seller" box on the cart page."
  • The largest bag size we use is 1kg and it has a zip (it's resealable), for example if you order 4kg with 1kg packaging you will receive 4 x 1kg bags, you will not receive a single huge 4kg bag.
  • VIC|NSW|QLD|TAS|NT Flat Rate Shipping $6.99 No Delivery Company Preference, $7.99 Shipit-Courier's Please, $8.99 Australia Post, $12.99 Express Post, Live Quote Shipping at the checkout for Same Day Delivery as Dispatch in VIC in the highlighted map areas https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/361387/95314/same_day_…
  • SA|WA Flat Rate Shipping $9.99 Express Post. Regular parcels travel to SA & WA via train. The recent floods have damaged the rail line to SA & WA and a freight train has derailed, as such we've been informed by Australia Post that standard delivery to SA & WA is currently not an option for the foreseeable future. Express Post travels by plane, so it's still a viable option. We understand some of our SA & WA customers would prefer our "$6.99 No Delivery Company Preference" standard shipping option. Our Express Post option is usually $12.99. As Express shipping has been forced on us and you as the only viable option to SA & WA for the moment, to make the best of this situation we've decided to split the price difference and offer our SA & WA customers flat-rate Express shipping for only $9.99

    Already ordered when I saw the email in bed! Your Brazil SO roast is so good, not the best in the world/most unique but an amazing daily driver which I know I can give everyone, and I know they will enjoy it. There's a void if I don't have these beans on my shelf ready to go.

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 08:38

      Sounds like you hit the ground running this morning @bxpressiv :)

      Wow what a wonderfully detailed, glowing review of our Brazil SO. Think you nailed the description perfectly. It's a delicious coffee that I believe anyone could enjoy and no one would strongly dislike, if this coffee was a Politician it would be the ultimate diplomat. Thank you so much for your terrific compliment, it really does mean a lot!

      • bxpressiv on 24/11/2022 - 11:10

        There you go- resell these same beans, put some artwork on the bag, call it The Diplomat, charge $60/kg and then sell it to coffee hipsters. They love paying for branding.

        • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 11:40

          Haha are you a Copywriter? Tempting, but I'm no graphic artist and to say every time I take a photo there's a highly likely chance it'll come out blurry is an massive understatement, so I'll have to pass on The Diplomat/branding upsell idea :)

  • Chazzozz on 24/11/2022 - 08:18

    Oh yeeeeaaahhhh…time to stock up on the São Paulo SO, that coffee is so nice. Mrs C is also a fan of the SWP so we've been getting that one on a regular rotation. Thanks Tom!

    P.S. good work on the SA/WA shipping. That's a crap situation to be forced into but I'm impressed with how you're trying to look after your western customers.

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 08:53

      Morning @Chazzozz

      Love the "oh yeeeeaaahhhh" opener haha

      On "regular rotation" is a compliment in itself, let alone the "so nice" description. Wrapped to know how much you and Mrs C have been enjoying our Brazil São Paulo SO and Swiss Water Process Decaf. Thank you so much for ordering again and sharing your most welcome feedback, it's truly appreciated!

      That's means a lot, thank you for the compliment, fingers crossed our SA|WA customers feel the same as you do. A customer is a customer, regardless of their location in Australia. We do our best to put ourselves in the customers shoes first, then get back in our our shoes to see if what would be ideal for the customer is 100% viable on our side. If not 100% viable, then we get as close to 100% as we can. We're not perfect, so I'm sure we don't always get it right, but we sure do try and will continue to tweak our systems to further improve them for customers :)

  • Reticent on 24/11/2022 - 08:28

    Thanks! Grabbed 2kg and will most likely freeze a lot of it til needed.

    Although I have one, that’s also a killer deal on the Aeropress.

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 08:59

      Hey @Reticent

      Fantastic, thank you so much for the order, it really does mean so much. Unless you've already selected the last Tuesday in January as your scheduled dispatch date, feel free to send a reply email to your order confirmation to change the dispatch date so your order arrives when you're ready to get stuck into the first bag, that way you'll only need to freeze one bag :)

      Woohoo, terrific to hear you think it's also a "killer deal on the AeroPress," we think so too (only a slightly biased comment haha) :)

  • summit on 24/11/2022 - 08:32

    Thanks, Bought a kg of Brazil, looking forward to trying

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 09:11

      Terrific, thank you so much @summit for your order, it really does mean so much :)

      Glad you're looking forward to it, we hope you love our fresh coffee!

  • s15mos on 24/11/2022 - 08:35

    Don't have a grinder and want to try out, so wanted to order pre-ground. Is ground filter or espresso options recommended for the aeropress?

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 08:38

      Nice double check!

      Ground for filter should be the winner for you :)

  • Applebees332 on 24/11/2022 - 09:01

    Are any of the Brazil options instant coffee? Not very familiar so unsure what ground espresso is, thanks.

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 09:03

      Morning @Firejacko

      Appreciate you reaching out to check, better safe than sorry!

      At present we don't have any instant/dissolvable coffee option. Ground espresso suits either an Espresso Machine or Stovetop Coffee Maker/Moka Pot :)

    • Maestrok on 24/11/2022 - 09:04

      Get the aeropress along with some of the beans here (pre-grounded). Instructions are simple and you'll get a much much more decent result compared to instant coffee

  • Save Medicare on 24/11/2022 - 09:03

    Parcel Locker ok?

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 09:10

      Hey @Save Medicare

      Great question, it's more than OK, it's delicious (only a slightly biased comment haha) for milk based beverages and cuts through milk exceptionally well. It's also fantastic for black coffee, in case you have both types :)

      • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 09:34

        We can 100% deliver to a parcel locker, just select the Australia Post shipping option at the checkout, as AP owns the parcel lockers they're the only company that can deliver to them :)

  • dajackal on 24/11/2022 - 09:21

    Really enjoying the Colombia Hulia from recent deal on my V60. Any deals on that one, otherwise is the Brazil SO similar at all?

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 09:32
      +3

      Morning @dajackal

      Appreciate you reaching out and I'm very happy to know that you're "really enjoying" our Colombia SO on your V60!

      This deal is our only live one at present. our Brazil SO is fairly different to our Colombia SO, see comparisons below. However, that's not to say our Brazil SO isn't also delicious for V60, I had a Brazil SO pour over this morning and so far my day's off to a terrific start :)

      Brazil São Paulo Single Origin
      * Score = 85/100
      * Aroma = Salted Caramel
      * Sweetness = Honey
      * Acidity = Milk Chocolate
      * Fruit 1 to Chocolate 10 Flavour Scale = 9-10
      * Type = Arabica-Mundo Novo
      * Grown = 1250m
      * Process = Natural - Clean with Medium Body/Mouthfeel
      * Brew Method = Espresso or Filter - Omni Roasted
      * Beverage Base = Absolutely incredible white, it's the best suited Single Origin for milk based coffee we've ever featured. That said it's still delicious as a black coffee

      Colombia Huila Single Origin
      * Score = 86/100
      * Aroma = Dark Cherry
      * Sweetness = Brown Sugar
      * Acidity = Green Apple
      * Fruit 1 to Chocolate 10 Flavour Scale = 6.5
      * Type = Arabica-Caturra
      * Grown = 1650m
      * Process = Double Washed - Coffee cherries are placed in tanks to ferment for 24-40 hours before being pulped. The coffee then goes a further 60-65 hours of fermentation before being washed, this results in a extremely clean crisp flavour with a medium body/mouthfeel
      * Brew Method = Espresso or Filter - Omni Roasted
      * Beverage Base = Black or White - Deliciously Sweet Black, Enough Oomph to Cut Through Milk

  • Ayiruos on 24/11/2022 - 09:44

    Love your coffee, i don't normally like South American beans but ill give them a go.
    P.S. I bought both kinds of decaf last time and one of my housemates was drinking it thinking it was regular caffinated stuff, it's absolutely delicious!

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 10:26

      Wonderful to hear that you "love" our fresh coffee, glad you've decided to give this one a go, hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised!

      WOW what a terrific compliment and the ultimate prank too, feedback much appreciated :)

  • dammit on 24/11/2022 - 09:54

    So happy for this bargain to be posted! Lime blue is the only coffee we need for our espresso machine :)

    I’ve been drinking the Colombia Huila Single Origin from the last deal but the Brazil is definitely the crowd favourite. With the Colombia even from fresh roasted I’ve had to put the grind setting on 1 (finest) to try and get the speed right which is a bit strange although I’m pretty new to home barista - using breville smart grinder and dual boiler. With the timing of the brew, do you count whilst the machine is doing preinfusion? What I’ve been doing is hold the manual button, machine does preinfusion and then when I see liquid start to appear out of the porta filter I quickly let go, pressure goes up to 10 bar or thereabouts, and I start the timer that split second. But I always end up with 20+ grams of espresso liquid in 15 seconds or so from that. Maybe I should be including preinfusion time in my timing. Or maybe time doesn’t really matter. I drink it with milk (milk lab almond), keen to try and get it to taste a bit less bitter and smoother, but maybe it’s just this beans that isn’t my taste preference. Trying to get scientific to get the best out of these great coffee roaster (thanks for all the support Tom!).

    Going to put some orders in for both this Brazil & decaf to keep the supply incoming - going through it all much faster than predicted is always a very good sign!!

      Hey @dammit

      Very glad you're happy about our post because we're equally happy about your's, thank you so much for the terrific compliment!

      I really appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback because not only do I hopefully have a simple solution but it will also hopefully extend the life of your smart grinder…running 20g regularly on a 1 either means your burrs are blunt and need replacing or your grind setting is too fine for our Colombia SO, either way it's a fast track to burning out your motor.

      Nice detail on the feedback very helpful. First I can confirm our recommended brew guides include any pre-infusion time. Second from the grind setting, extraction ratio to contact time and bitterness (which shouldn't be at the forefront) you're tasting I believe your shots are channeling. Basically this means too much pressure is building (due to super find grind) and the water is bypassing the coffee to find the path of least resistance, likely resulting in a watery far less than ideal morning kick start. You'll need a grind size several times coarser, it's a tad hard to tell you a specific setting as it varies based on burr use and calibration. My recommendation would be to start in the middle of the "espresso" settings and adjust from there. With your specific grinder it's best to adjust the settings while the burrs are moving and purge (grind and discard) about half a shot for each setting change and test, otherwise had your shot will be on the old setting and half on the new setting. See how you go with the above, if you're still having trouble please email the following to [email protected]
      1) A photo of the coffee puck just after extraction before it's knocked out of the basket
      2) A photo of the coffee puck after it's knocked out of the basket
      3) If possible a quick video of the shot extracting

  • Spending2Much on 24/11/2022 - 10:26

    Delivery to WA is always super super slow…. hopefully, the more expensive express only option, arrives much faster.

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 11:43

      Indeed, you'd think a train would speedy up delivery with no traffic lights, but with less frequency, multiple stops and extra travel time to load and unload, it's far slower/more restrictive than road freight!

      Fingers crossed you enjoy your Express Post experience, thank you for the order via Express, it does mean a lot :)

  • dhx on 24/11/2022 - 10:56

    +1 for Brazil SO with full cream milk. Highly recommended :)

    Brazil SO also made me better appreciate the LBC Moments to Memories blend which is equally great quality and has a milder flavour which many occasions call for.

  • caffeine69 on 24/11/2022 - 12:04

    Really loved your Columbia SO beans on the amazing previous deal. Insane what a difference freshly roasted makes! I've been making daily Aeropress/Cold brews with them ever since and still have 3/4 of a bag left, so just wanted to ask: how long would you say roasted beans are good for? Mine are now about 3 weeks old and still taste pretty good, but I'm not sure if I should purchase more just because I don't want that freshness to disappear.

    • Baebs on 24/11/2022 - 12:54

      Frozen beans will last ages. After running out of my last batch, I tried a leftover bag from Axil roasters (frozen from 3/2021) which was still decent. That "fresh" taste will decline though after 2-3 months.

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 24/11/2022 - 13:10

      Woohoo that's wonderful to hear @caffeine69 I'm so happy to know you "loved" our Colombia SO and could notice the super freshness!

      Coffee stored at ambient/room temp is ideally consumed in about a month, thereafter oxidation increases and flavour starts to diminish. For a new order placed today, using our unique scheduled/delayed dispatch system, you can delay the dispatch date until the last Tuesday in January, if that's of any help to you? Otherwise, if you freeze (can do for several months and much longer if vacuum sealed) a sealed bag oxidation will rapidly slow thus extending the freshness, of course once defrosted the normal room temp storage freshness kicks in :)

      • DrABCDEFG on 26/11/2022 - 16:38

        Hi, just checking - are the bags suitable for freezing, or do they have a degassing valve? Tossing between ordering 2x 500g bag vs 1x 1kg. Thanks!

        • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 27/11/2022 - 11:04

          Hey @DrABCDEFG

          Appreciate you reaching out to check!

          Due to how freshly we pack our coffee, striving for dispatch within 48 business hours of roasting, we use one-way valves on the bags to prevent the seams splitting due to pressure in transit/before the bag is opened.

          If you have a vacuum seal container, then I'd recommend going for the 1x1kg option and freezing into quantities you can consume in 2-3 weeks, as it's less than optimal to take coffee in a out of the freezer.

          If you're worried about the one-way valve freezing in the open position and don't have a vacuum seal container my advice is as follows:
          1) Get the 2x500g bags. Open the first one and get stuck into the good stuff, while following steps 2-5 for the second bag
          2) Wait 7-10 days after the roast date before freezing
          3) During this wait time ensure the top of the bag folder over the bag (the same way we pack orders), so the bag doesn't balloon
          4) The one-way valve is only activated when internal pressure builds to the point where the bag has either ballooned or bag is folded over the top reducing the internal space for degassing. As such, it should now be OK to put the bag in the freezer without the top folded over, thus leaving enough space for any bag expansion without resulting in activating the one-way valve
          5) As an extra safety measure, if you're still concerned, to prevent the freezer atmosphere (freezer, other food smells, moisture…) penetrating the coffee you can put the sealed coffee bag into a zip lock freezer bag before freezing

          There are more things you can do to protect the coffee and extend the shelf life in the freezer, all methods have their pros and cons e.g. vacuum seal single doses

          Shout out if you have any more questions :)

Thanks again for looking after us providing generous discounts. i understand how hard it is for businesses to run. After having more than 10 deliveries, i can confirm that the consistency is amazing and never had an average one.

Terrific to hear that your coffee making skills, with our fresh coffee, has been sparking some interest from your friends/guests in Lime Blue, fingers crossed it's enough of a spark for them to place an order or two. Glad our deals have been winners for you. Really appreciate your understanding, each day there's great moments and not so crash hot moments, a constant roller coaster. That said it's all worth it and possible with the support of our wonderful customers, so overall nothing but smiles of appreciation on this side of the screen. End of the day "if it is to be it's up to me," so if good things happen it's on the team and if there's issues then it's on the us to address and resolve.

      Two primary factors impact delivery speed:

      1) Location…what's the delivery Suburb and State?
      2) The shipping option you select, we have up to 5 shipping options, see below…what shipping rate would you select?
      VIC|NSW|QLD|TAS|NT
      a) No delivery company preference flat rate $6.99
      b) Courier's Please flat rate $7.99
      c) Australia Post flat rate $8.99
      d) Express Australia Post flat rate $12.99
      e) Same day delivery as dispatch, available in VIC only, live shipping rates prices vary by weight and distance
      SA|WA
      a) Express Australia Post flat rate $9.99

      Without more info I'd say the earlier the better. Even if you select Express, with a "better safe than sorry" mentality in mind, I wouldn't recommend leaving dispatch to the Thursday of the weekend you must have it by for a gift. You're welcome to continue this chat via email to [email protected] if you'd prefer not to put the address on a public forum :)

    Grabbed 500g of the Sao Paolo SO. Generally prefer fruity flavours but I've seen too much good feedback on here before to keep passing it over!

      Wow I'm wrapped that the wonderfully thoughtful comments from the Oz B Community (thank you again) led you to pull the trigger and place your first order with us. Thank you so much. It's an opportunity we really do appreciate and will not take for granted!

      Fingers crossed you love this terrific SO. If you love it, then I highly recommend taking our Colombia SO for a spin as it certainly hits those fruity notes in harmony/balance with chocolate notes :)

  • Diji on 10/12/2022 - 11:48

    Welp, I should've known better than to expect AusPost to be able to move a 500g package about 50 km in under 2 weeks so close to Christmas. It's been "processing" for over a week.

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 10/12/2022 - 12:14

      Hey @Diji completely understand how that could be frustrating for you, it sure is frustrating for me to see!

      Could you please send a reply email to your order confirmation so we can get into next steps for resolution and getting the good stuff safely in your hands?

      • Diji on 10/12/2022 - 15:58

        Yeah, no worries, I'll shoot you an email. Not holding you responsible or anything, just had to vent about AusPost doing AusPost things lol.

          Sure thing, really appreciate your patience and understanding. Honestly don't know what's wrong with them, they've had all year to plan for the Q4 busy season. Delays are so frustrating for us to see, even when it's only impacting a relatively small amount of orders, so I can imagine how customers may feel. Yes flood damage to roads and rail recently has caused some delays, but they don't have the staffing issues they had this time last year e.g. when one positive Covid case could mean 50 of their parcel sorting facility staff had to isolate… They did have a great start Q4 this year e.g. a surprising amount of our parcels dispatched on Black Friday (25/11) got delivered on Sunday (27/11), so I thought "great, delivery companies have geared up for the busy season and are working on the weekend." However, in the last week delivery companies have started dropping the ball!

          We're doing our best to address any delays directly with the delivery companies and we'll continue to do so, striving for a speedy delivery/resolution :)

      • Diji on 10/12/2022 - 16:04

        Well I'm an idiot, I managed to leave the "l" out of gmail.com when creating an account so I don't have an order confirmation - are you able to chase it up via order number? It's #23906.

          haha no stress, easy to do, you're not the first and won't be the last (would be great if you were) to make a typo in the email address. I've fixed the typo and resent your order confirmation to you. I've also sent an email with a follow up re: your order delivery status and next steps resolution :)

    I don’t know what it is, but with this Brazil SO I get inconsistent results.
    I am on my 3rd kilo of the bean (I am persistent) but I find I’m always adjusting settings trying to get the volume output to be consistent. The best I reckon I’ve had is around 4 cups in a row where the volume output is 2:1 in 27s. Then for example the next cup will be either 2.5:1 or 1.5:1 using the exact same settings, everything is weighed, WDT, 15kg tamper - everything I do is measured and consistent yet the output changes randomly. I can’t figure it out. It’s only with this bean.
    In comparison, with the Columbia SO I went through 2kg straight with only a minor change to grind as I got to the end of each bag and one adjustment when I opened the 2nd one fresh.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 11/12/2022 - 12:16

      Hey @desty appreciate you taking the time to reach out and thank you for placing another order with us, it does mean a lot!

      I can't promise that you'll enjoy the flavour of our Brazil SO (although I sincerely hope you do), but what I can promise is that any extraction inconsistency isn't as a result of our roast profile as we check our batches. I believe the inconsistency is as a result of the equipment/settings, which we can hopefully tweak towards consistent extraction. Could you please let me know what brand/model grinder and espresso machine you have?

      • desty on 11/12/2022 - 16:04

        Eureka Mignon specialita + BDB.
        20g VST basket. 20.0g in, target 40.0g out in 27s.
        Every other bean I buy, I dial it in once and I’m set.
        This Brazil SO, I am always adjusting.

        • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 11/12/2022 - 16:20

          Sure thing, appreciate the extra info, it's helpful and hopefully points us toward a resolution :)

          To clarify does BDB = Breville Duel Boiler?

          When you get a sec could you please send the following to [email protected]?
          1) A photo of a handful of beans on a white surface e.g. white paper
          2) A photo of the coffee puck right after extraction while it's still in the basket
          3) A photo of the coffee puck right after extraction once it's knocked out of the basket
          4) A video of the shot extracting
          5) A photo of the coffee bag label with the roast date

            @LimeBlueCoffee: Are there any recommended settings? I have this exact same setup and quite new the hobby and would love to make great latte with your Brazil SO

              @SevenSmurfs: Hey @SevenSmurfs appreciate you taking the time to reach out!

              We recommend you use the brew recipes as a guide to dial in your grinder and set the machine volumetrics. For ease of reference I've put the guides below for you :)

              Black Espresso Guide 1 : 2 Ratio = 20 In : 40 Out : 27 Seconds
              Milk Based Guide 1 : 1 Ratio = 20 In : 20 Out : 18 Seconds

    Really enjoying the Brazil SO with milk. Will order more at the next discount. Out of curiosity why do you recommend a different brew ratio between black and milk?

    • AssociatedLimeBlueCoffee @ Lime Blue Coffee on 21/12/2022 - 11:51

      Wonderful to hear, really appreciate that terrific feedback!

      Nice question, it just comes down to balance of flavour. Both 1:1 and 1:2 ratios work really well with milk, we just found that 1:1 with milk is that little bit more delicious. In terms of black coffee, 1:1 is likely a bit too concentrated in flavour, as such 1:2 is the best bet for black coffee :)
