Went for a wander around the new Costco in Docklands last night.
Freakin HUGE!
Anyhow, they had 1kg bags of whole bean coffee on sale. Proudly displaying the fact that they were roasted by Star$s.
No valve, no roasted on date, use by November 2009.
Cheap, but Im afraid the taste test is going to have to fall to someone else.
I chose not to purchase and instead, went home and had some Guatemalan SHB that WAS stored in a 1 way valve bage after roasting and DID have a roasted on date. And I knew it was accurate, cos I was THERE when it happened (avoiding burny ow-ows!).
Its an interesting store. Very wide range of goods. Some are great value, some you can do better at other places, but I think it will thrive. Sydney get theirs next year?
