Customer Reviews
I received my coffee beans today and I am very glad I bought from Bay Beans as the coffee is great and delivered in good time.
Greg Olson, Dharruk NSW (January 2025)
I just ordered my first kilogram of Bay Beans - very quick to arrive, very smooth, aroma is lovely! I will order the Super Crema on my next order.

I purchased my own cafe two weeks ago and changed the coffee to Bay Beans Forte. My customers love it and my coffee sales are increasing every day! Your customer service and fast delivery is also fantastic. Thank you
Brooke, Forbes NSW (October 2018)
Amazing fresh coffee and the easiest online buying experience. All varieties are great but the Forte is my favourite!
Dominic, Brighton Victoria (June 2018)
Just ordered my second kilo of beans from Bay Beans. Going to drink my way through their entire selection. Keep up the good work James and team!

This is the coffee I have been looking for my whole life!!! After looking online and reading many reviews on different coffee's I bit the bullet and decided to buy a couple of different one's from various sources. Not only was the service from James at Bay Beans personal but also incredibly fast. I ordered the Forte blend and was absolutely thrilled with both the taste and texture of the coffee. Right from when I first opened the bag, I just knew I was going to be in for a treat. Thanks you so much James for finally giving me a coffee I can sit and enjoy that takes me away to a whole other place. I will definitely be a regular buyer after this and couldn't imagine being satisfied with any other coffee now. I am ruined (or spoilt) for life.

I had my first experience buying coffee beans off you this week and I felt compelled to tell you how excited I am. First off, after ordering Saturday night and being from Toowoomba Queensland, I was expecting delivery maybe Wednesday or Thursday and was over the moon when I heard a knock at the door Tuesday! Secondly, I have always had problems with early blonding with my coffee shots and always put it down to either my grinder not being up to scratch (Sunbeam EM0480) or my technique being off (I have only been doing this a few months). So, I couldn't believe my eyes when I was watching my first coffee shot - Incredibly dark and streaky right up until 25 seconds, with the best looking crema i have ever seen.And lastly the flavour, holy hell, the best I've had so far. I have always gotten my beans from local cafes that supposedly freshly roast... So thank you very much, you have earned yourself a regular customer.

Concerned I'd run out of coffee on Anzac Day - I ordered at 10.30am on Tuesday, delivered less than 24hrs later...brilliant service as per usual! Thanks again

I tried the Forte coffee beans recently and couldn't be happier. Thank you very much for the great product and service. We shared the Forte beans around with some friends who were also impressed, so I think there may be some more orders coming through from Victoria.

Hi James, I have received my coffee yesterday and tried it today. Just have to tell you that the taste exceeded my expectations! We normally buy our beans from Campos. I am sure my husband and I will come back to Baybeans for more :)
Sarah C, Montblanc Queensland (February 2013)
G'day, I just tried your coffee and it is the best I have had in some time. Who ever did the roasting and blending is very skilled. Thanks!
Janis Zenchyson, Bowenfels NSW (November 2012)
Good morning James. I thought that I should say how good your service is - my coffee arrived this morning, just 48 hours after I placed the order. It would be hard to expect better service than that. Added to the excellent service, the coffee is great too - both Forte and Espresso make a great coffee in my Rancilio.
Michael Skelton, Tanilba Bay NSW (November 2012)
Just tried your Forte beans and it's the best coffee I've had so far. Very pleasant after taste, not bitter, smooth rich, a lingering chocolate taste. Well done.

Hello James. I appreciate your email and the fantastic service you provide. This is the second time I have ordered from your company and I'm very happy with the excellent coffee you have.
Rob Isik, Griffith NSW (August 2012)
Thanks again for the fantastically prompt service, oh and the great beans!
Scott Strothers, Silverwater NSW (July 2012)
Ordered my coffee beans yesterday and they arrived today! If the beans are as great as the service, I'll be very happy & let you know. My coffee machine has some other beans left in it - Where are the coffee drinking visitors when you need'em?
