OzBargain's Coffee Bean of Choice

Hi all, I was recently gifted a Delonghi automatic coffee machine with all the bells and whistles. Prior to this I used good ol' Nescafe Blend 43 or if I felt a little fancy the Nespresso pods.

Due to our eagerness to use the machine, I purchased a big bag of Kirkland Signature Columbia (which I quite enjoy actually) which we are nearing the end. On average my partner and I have ~4-5 coffees a day between the two of us and found we were able to get through the 1.3kg bag in slightly over a month. We normally just make an espresso and add warm frothed oat milk and are by no means coffee aficionados.

Anyways, I would like to know what majority of the OzBargain community uses in terms of brand/types of beans etc.

Thanks for your time :)

  Airjo when it's on sale, if not, my local convenience store has a DIY grinder station with a selection of Merlo blends.

  Airjo is better than aldi for this machine, and there are also better beans than airjo

  That said, aldi is good enough for me. I also stocked up on a $10 for 1kg clearance coffee from Costco, good enough too

  Whats the best coffee to use for iced coffee?
  With milk and proper ice cream not ice cubes and cream or other junk people make it with.

    Personally I don't find much difference between instant and espresso for iced coffee, due to the amount of milk and ice cream, and because you don't add water to the drink with instant, I find it a bit less watery than espresso.

  Double Roasters - local roaster in Sydney.

  Otherwise after trying most of the brands in Woolies my go to there is Grinders. I grab a pack if it happens to be on sale.

  Coles sell their own beans for $12 per KG. They're roasted in Melbourne, and taste great. Strong, dark (bitter) flavour. I think they're the same beans used in the Coles Express machines. Cheaper than ALDI and just as good, if you like the stronger flavour.

    Is that the Urban Culture (?) brand?

  I really like the Giancarlo blend from Grinders available at Costco. It is delicious and at $20/kg hard to beat price wise as well

  what about mannabeans.com.au? Ive been with them for about two years! They used to be good value, four bags of 470g for $59.9, three out of four chang every month, so i pretty much had all their regular blend. Maybe its been so long, and I wanna try new taste. I was just little surprised that no one mentioned them, cuz ozbargain was where I initially heard about it.
