Coffee Addict: Free Site That Tracks Every NZ Roaster's Bean Prices, Per 100g

Disclosure: this is my own site, so flagging that up front. Posting it here rather than in deals because it's a free tool rather than a one-off bargain.

I got sick of having ten roaster tabs open trying to work out what was actually good value, so I built coffeeaddict.nz. It reads the published prices of 152 NZ roasters every night, 2,862 bags at the moment, and puts them all on one page priced per 100g. Means a 200g bag and a 1kg sack finally compare properly.

It also tracks price drops, new arrivals, and each roaster's shipping terms, which matter more than you'd expect. A $10 bag with $12 freight isn't a $10 bag. Subscriptions too, and some of those work out dearer than just buying the beans.

No ads, no affiliate links on beans, nothing sponsored. Roasters can't pay to rank, so the cheap bag at the top is just the cheap bag.

If your roaster isn't on there, let me know and I'll add them.

    This is great, thank you! I've been wanting to try out a few more local roasters but a lot of effort to trawl through all their websites for per kg pricing. Just tried that location based search and gave me a few hits of places I've not tried of before.

      Thanks, that's really good to hear and exactly why I built it.

      I'd love to show a delivered price for each region too, but getting it would mean a bot adding bags to carts and messing with roasters' numbers.

    Handy site! I remember not so long ago 28 bucks would get you decent kilo of quality beans

    Great idea. Are you also listing Green beans?
    Thanks

    Not yet, but a section for green beans is a great idea. I've had my eye on a Kaffelogic for a long time.

      I have fully gone down the coffee rabbit hole and love it, i bought a Kaffelogic roaster several years ago and it has already paid for itself from all the savings i have made from switching to buying green beans.

      It is an awesome bit of kit and being able to try different roast levels and customize so much, roasting fresh beans whenever you want, it's the best, and I wouldnt live without it.

        Don't tempt me. It's exactly the kind of thing I'd obsess over. It's good to know the maths works out too.

    Guessing it excludes supermarkets.

    Top on what's hot

    L'affare Coffee Beans Chocca 200g $11 + freight @ L'affare

    $10.95 at Woolworths
    $7.25 at PNS North Island

      Yep, deliberately. It only reads roasters' own shops so supermarket pricing isn't in there.

      Main reason is roast date. Supermarket bags can sit around for months and that matters more than almost anything with coffee. Buying from the roaster usually means beans roasted a few days ago rather than back in autumn. The site is there to point people at fresh beans and the smaller roasters rather than win on absolute cheapest.

      You're right about what's hot though. It's mostly price driven at the moment because there are barely any votes yet, so it can put up a bag you'd get cheaper at the supermarket. Fair hit and I'd rather hear it now. There are 152 roasters on there and the small ones are the interesting part.

        I just voted on the chocca bag and then opened up the same page in a private window and voted for it again.
        Are both votes counted? (seeing if the results can be skewed)

          Good test, and no, only one counted. There are no cookies involved, that's deliberate, but there's more than one check behind it so a private window on its own won't do it. Score should be sitting where it was.

          Not claiming it's airtight. Someone determined could probably skew one bag if they really wanted to. The aim is that casual double voting doesn't work, and if the numbers ever start looking silly I'd rather someone tells me.

    Yipee, another vibe coded site

      Why do you sound upset by it? It's a free site, not behind a paywall, doing a service.

      If you don't like it, make something yourself and it better not have any bugs or we'll roast you more than a Starbucks dark roast.

        I'm not, but they claimed 'they' built it.

          So you're here to judge every AI generated content, whether it's a website, app, video, even a security vulnerability that will help some researcher and whatever else?

          People can generate garbage if you don't know how to prompt, how to hook up MCP connectors, use skills and the right harnesses and various other tricks. If people put in the work, especially if they paid money to get to a certain point, I don't see what's wrong with that.

          If you have a problem, there are plenty of AI generated apps that make millions of dollars on the app store. Plenty of stories and interviews about those. Go shout at them.

          Also, some websites are really well made by AI if you know what you're doing. It's unlikely you are even aware what's truly AI generated or not. Some are easy to identify because of certain colour schemes or UIs. The one generated by OP is obviously AI, but with the right prompt, you can design something that is barely noticeable. Vibe code or not, as long as it works, it's fine. There was another Cheapies member who posted a real crappy vibe coded site a while ago and nothing worked on that site, which is a different story.

    What problem is it solving? A bag is say $10 and shipping is say $10 - that's super expensive so wouldn't buy - even if I was buying a 500g or 750g I would just find a local roaster. No point buying bulk as kinda want fresh. Who do you see using this? I consume a lot of beans and I'm kinda struggling to understand the why - maybe I'm missing something.

      Firstly, I'm a strong believer in shopping local. If you can get fresh coffee locally, keep doing that. And if we help you find a local roaster you didn't know about, that's a win.

      The goal is to be a place where small roasters get seen, and where people can find which roasters are making really great coffee. Until we build up that community driven database, price is the best metric I've got to filter on.

      It also makes the 200g bag obvious. 55 roasters are selling a 200g now against 95 on 250g, and sitting on a shelf they look the same.

      For me personally, the subscriptions work. We drink a fair bit of coffee and I can get high end beans delivered to the door for a very reasonable price.

    Cool idea. I'd like the option however of showing/hiding supermarkets. Say for example you're passing through somewhere to go on holiday and you've forgotten your beans, would be nice to have the option of supermarkets.

      Cheers. Second time that's come up, so I'll look into what it'd take.

      Right now it's roasters' own shops only, mostly for freshness and to get the small guys seen. If you're passing through, the location search should turn up a roaster near you with a shop you can walk into. Won't help you at 8pm when you've turned up at your holiday spot though.
