[Wellington] Havana Coffee 200g (Exp December 2025) $5.99 @ PAK'n SAVE Kilbirnie

20

It is strange that buying from supermarket channels is cheaper than Havana direct even with a subscription.

Includes whole bean, ground etc. all blends.

They probably run some multi-year contract or something but never personally seen them under $6.00 even at PN.

$5.99 Kilbirnie (seems the magical PN this week)

$6.99 Mt Albert Auckland, Hamilton, Christchurch, etc. (seems the general sale price)

$8.39 Dunedin, Queenstown (seems to be missing)

EDIT: X-Blend was $2.99 in Kilbirnie earlier https://www.cheapies.nz/node/50674

  • I get my from our Reduced to Clear - Think its around those prices.

      The BBD on those is January 2025 ? The stuff they sold in Kilbirnie when I checked in-store was December 2025.

    Supply and demand in action. When they cried about inflation and global bean shortage it flew up to $8.39 so we bought laffare gusto instead for $7 and now Havana likely noticed a huge drop in sales and is trying to undercut laffare. It works because at this price I'm defaulting to buying Havana.

    • The legend (or rumor) has it that the stuff they sell at The Warehouse is L'affare contract roasted.

  • I'm guessing this is either expired or expiring. Coffee deteriorates pretty quick after roasting, so unless this has manufacture date less than 3 months ago, I'll spend the extra couple of $ to get something fresh.

      I was there yesterday and the package said December 2025 (expiry/sell by date) and I've had a go at it this morning.

      Whilst it does not indicate roasting date, I found it as good as fresh direct from factory works or moore wilsons almost next door to the roastery.

      It's in a sealed plastic bag with appropriate ventilation valve. Also have tasted it and it doesn't differ much - ideal is 1wk roasted wait given the off-gassing.

      Different storage mediums preserve / affect the taste after the off-gas waiting period. James Hoffman also had a vid about it.
