    Should go well with my new Aerobie Aeropress. Thanks

    Normal price is quite expensive?

      All the more reason to claim the free sample and see if it's worth it or not.

      You weren't kidding! $56-$60 per Kilo! I don't think they are aiming for the OzBargain crowd to be honest.

      • Cluster on 11/11/2012 - 04:50

        A few months ago I bought my first coffee machine and grinder. I've tried organic coffee from Peru, IKEA coffee (UTZ certified), and a few other brands. In a latte they all taste pretty much the same to me. Right now I'm drinking Chicco D'oro that I found for $8.80/kg at Woolworths one day.

        It would take a lot of convincing to get me to pay $60/kg for coffee beans.

  • Chthonic on 10/11/2012 - 16:57

    Thanks OP! Just sent the site an email :)

  • bxpressiv on 10/11/2012 - 17:22

    Good find OP, definitely willing to give some new beans a try.

    Damn I paid $2 for a 75g free sample from that other place. I feel ripped off now.

      Got that email aswell… looks like it's been ozbargained.

      Ozbargained for sure.

    • theroysta on 10/11/2012 - 20:56

      Yeah, I got the same response. This small business officially ozbargained.

    I guess if you are a new company, offer free samples, get an "unreasonable" response and then pull your offer. In the mean time you have gained a market audience.

  • tyler.durden on 10/11/2012 - 20:46

    how big is 75g?

    • pennypacker on 10/11/2012 - 21:08
      +2

      half as much as a third of a pound (roughly)

      • hyk000 on 10/11/2012 - 22:23

        Nice

    • Dacs on 11/11/2012 - 08:27

      75g of ground coffee is about 0.001125 cubic metres.
      You're welcome.

    What the hell, I sent them my details within minutes of this deal being posted, and now I get an email saying they have had too many people request samples and that they'll give me a 10% discount instead. So they now have my email on their mailing list and they aren't even sending me samples. And 10%…really?
    Interested to see how many people also get turned down, have a feeling they had a VERY limited number of samples.

    I want to revoke my positive vote.

      The technical term is "bait & switch". Should you get emails from them, be sure to hit the Spam button on your favourite email program. That way even legimitate customers are more unlikely to get their emails in future.

      • stumo on 11/11/2012 - 10:42
        +1

        Pure bait n switch for sure. If they've had time to construct a switch email, then they've had time to remove the bait.

        Allow me to neg on behalf of all those who got scammed.

    Wondering if they will still send samples out to early emailers or whether this is a bulk rejection…

    Neg for scummy marketing.

    • Explosions_Hurt on 11/11/2012 - 08:04

      Come on man, it's not clear that these guys have engaged in scummy marketing. We need to wait for the facts to emerge before we pass judgement.

      I call for a Royal OzBargain Inquest into the legitimacy of this deal; in particular, the availability of said product samples.

      I nominate myself lawyer man!

    • Chthonic on 11/11/2012 - 08:51

      It's not scummy marketing, it's scummy people like you who most likely just expect free stuff from a small start up business without the intention of ever going back.

      It's clear ~1000 people put orders through. That's 75g x 1000 = 75kg. Going at a good price of $21 per kg: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/69454 - It would have lost them over $1500.

      That's not even including postage, packaging and other factors such as having to spend an entire week (~150) orders through per day processing this extremely large number of requests.

      A small business can't handle this, they didn't put the deal on ozbargain themselves, they would have placed it on the website based on their server logs of number of people who visit their website. Clearly not 1000+ per day.

      • lardlad on 11/11/2012 - 15:33

        Not expecting but if your gonna offer it then you better well give it.

        • Chthonic on 13/11/2012 - 08:12

          Hi there,

          Thanks for your interest in Jetty Lane Coffee Co.

          I wanted to let you know that we'll be posting the free sample you've requested tomorrow morning.

          We're a brand new company and sent our website live over the weekend, with a genuine free sample offer available at www.jettylanecoffeeco.com.au. We haven't marketed the website at all, so we expected a small and manageable number of sample requests and perhaps none at all!

          We did not post an offer to ozbargain.com.au or any other free sample websites, and still have no idea who decided to share this information. We were horrified to discover that we were getting emails from hundreds of people each hour - as a new small business we're only able to provide a small number of samples free of charge.

          As one of the first people we got an email from, we're excited to be sending you a sample. Please try our beans, and if you love them, like us on facebook. You can also enjoy a 20% discount on all our products when you place an order before 30 November - simply enter the discount code 'sample20' during checkout.

          Thanks for your understanding and we hope you enjoy our coffee!

          Chris @ Jetty Lane Coffee Co.

          I told you this was the case.

  • gooddealmate on 11/11/2012 - 10:18

    I'm yet to receive a cancellation email, so I'll hold judgement on them just yet.

  • PJC on 11/11/2012 - 10:48

    "It's not scummy marketing, it's scummy people like you who most likely just expect free stuff from a small start up business without the intention of ever going back."

    It's not our fault they offered free coffee on the internet, and members are not scummy for expecting that offer to be honoured. While it is understandable they have a limit, their prices are very high, and a mere 10% discount for people exceeding that limit means they are wasting an opportunity to attract many discriminating coffee drinkers.

  • bxpressiv on 11/11/2012 - 11:22

    I sent a response to their cancellation email and I get the feeling they don't know the Internet as opposed to a deliberate bait and switch. I think it's the first day they had a web page, probably won't be making that offer again.

    Lets face it, we're seagulls and they didn't know what to expect when they threw some chips.

      The person has a very good rep on Ebay. 100% rep, w/ 154x votes. They probably were not ready to be Ozbargained.

  • plasmapuff on 11/11/2012 - 12:39

    Marked their email as spam on Gmail.

    Encourage others to do the same. :-)
