PROS AND CONS

Let's weigh things up to help you make a decision...

Pros

Fast $6 shipping on all orders (ex. country areas).  Roasted locally - because nothing beats fresh coffee. Coffee pods magically appear at your doorstep monthly. Supporting an Australian company - because you're awesome. Buy enough coffee and you can sell your bed. Food miles – Google it and be shocked! (hint: Nespresso is from Switzerland, Caffitaly is from Italy and K-Fee is from Germany).

Cons

The guy who works at the fruit shop. Too much spare cash (we’ve heard it can be a problem, apparently). People will begin to think your house is a café and start requesting wood oven pizzas. You will struggle to drink instant coffee at a friend's house. We are online only, so sadly may never meet in person :(

CHOC WAFFLE CUP

DID THIS GRAB YOUR ATTENTION? GOOD!

A waffle cup, coated with dark chocolate, filled with your favorite delicious coffee. How incredible does that sound?

Remember the feeling you got when you were little and heard Mr. Whippy’s ice-cream truck coming down your street - seriously the best!

We wanted to recreate something similar, but for coffee, and we think we’ve done a pretty damn good job of it with our one-of-a-kind choc waffle cups, aka Cuppa Chocs! But don’t listen to our biased opinion, you be the judge! Every subscription is eligible to grab one of these handmade mouth-watering little treats for yourself for only $2!

 

WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS CHOC WAFFLE CUP YOU TALK OF!?

Instructions:

1. Extract short shot directly into Cuppa Choc

2. Add frothed milk

3. Enjoy one of the BIGGEST mouthgasms you may ever have!

THE DIRTY COFFEE SECRET

Hi, I'm Toby, the guy who decided taking on billion-dollar coffee giants was a sensible life choice 👋

Back in 2011, I realised the big foreign brands were taking Aussies for a ride.

Most of them roast their coffee overseas, stick it on a cargo ship for months, churn out mountains of aluminium and charge you a 'Corporate Coffee Tax' for the privilege.

So, I went rogue and built a local roastery to take on the giants. My mission was simple: give you a 3-step cheat code to beat the system 👇


1. Roaster-Direct: We kicked the middleman out of the group chat (he was annoying anyway) to bring you insanely fresh, plant-based pods at roaster-direct prices.

2. Volume Discounts: The more you buy, the cheaper it gets. It’s like knowing a guy, who knows a guy, who owns a roastery.

3. Subscribe & Save: Lock in up to 40% off. It’s literally the easiest way to give yourself a raise. And don't panic, you can cancel in two clicks – we aren't a gym!

Upgrade to fresh coffee that punches through milk for a proper cafe hit 🥊

100% HAPPY OR MONEY BACK 🤝

We're all sick of "guarantees" that are 90% fine print and 10% disappointment. So we’re keeping ours completely bulletproof.

If you're not doing a happy dance after your first sip, we will fix it.

The Flavour Swap: If the pods aren't hitting the spot, we’ll send you a different intensity to try on the house.

The Machine Whisperers: Sometimes machines play up – our Aussie team will troubleshoot your pour until it's cafe quality.

The 'No BS' Refund: If we still can't win you over, we'll refund every single cent. No interrogations and no awkward breakups.

We are in the business of making you happy, not holding your wallet hostage.

WE TAKE YOUR HAPPINESS PERSONALLY

WE RUN ON CAFFEINE

Orders are dispatched fast (usually within 24 hours). Nobody likes waiting for coffee

ACTUAL LOVE LETTERS

Expect a handwritten note in every box. Yes, our hands cramp. No, we won't stop.

Real humans

Question? A real human (probably high on caffeine) will reply. No scripts, just help.

NEW BAILEYS COLLAB 🤤

We’ve packed that iconic, silky, creamy Irish Cream flavour into a pod so you can indulge before noon without your boss asking questions (contains just 0.01% alcohol) 🤫

WHY WE DITCHED ALUMINIUM 🙅‍♂️

“Aluminium pods are ok because they're recyclable – right?” Yeah, and technically I’m "going to the gym" tomorrow 🤥


The truth is that the vast majority of those shiny pods actually get dumped straight in the bin. Once they leave your kitchen, they’ll be hanging around longer than Cher’s career (and not looking half as good).


And for the ones that do make it to recycling? It’s a total drama. We’re talking shipping, shredding, separating coffee, burning varnish, and re-smelting. It uses more energy than a toddler on a sugar high.

Even worse, the big guys ship most of them in from Europe with more baggage than a Bachelor contestant 🌹

No solution is perfect, each has its pros and cons. But we believe roasting locally and packing into plant-based pods is the smarter way to brew.

(the Podfather 🤌)

If you’re still reading this far down, you’re either very thorough or you’re procrastinating from actual work. We respect both 🫡

Meet Toby. He was the first person to bring Nespresso®* compatible pods to Australia back in 2011 (back when planking was a thing). That makes him the OG. The Podfather.

He’s an entrepreneur, a "nice guy" (according to his mum) and the reason you're about to save a fortune on your morning brew.

Got questions? Of course you do

(we’ve got answers)

Let's be honest, trying to face the world without caffeine is a dangerous game. Here is why joining the subscription club is a complete no-brainer:

Set and Forget: Never experience the utter horror of opening the cupboard on a Monday morning only to find an empty box. We will deliver your coffee automatically, leaving your brain free to remember more important things, like where you parked the car 🚗

Best Value: Save up to a massive 40% with our subscriber-only pricing. It is the easiest way to keep your coffee standards sky-high while keeping more dollarydoos in your pocket 💰

No Lock-ins: We aren't a clingy gym membership or a needy ex. You can pause, skip, reschedule, or cancel your subscription anytime with zero drama. No blood oaths, no contracts, and definitely no sneaky small print 🏃‍♂️

Coffee Your Way: You are completely in the driver's seat. Pick your favourite blends and tell us how often you want them to land on your doorstep, whether that is monthly, every two months, or every three months. You call the shots 🎯

Absolutely not. We leave the dodgy, impossible-to-cancel contracts to the big gyms and telcos.

With us, you are always completely in the driver's seat. You can pause, skip a delivery if you are heading off on a holiday, reschedule, or cancel your subscription absolutely any time. No lock-ins or fine print only ants can read. Just great coffee and great value on every single order 🔓

Easily - it's genuinely idiot-proof (we tested it on ourselves 😉).

Whether you're pausing, skipping, editing or rescheduling your next order, our simple step-by-step guide walks you through the whole thing without a single confusing menu or a "please hold" jingle. Life happens, coffee plans change – we get it. Sort it before your current cup goes cold ☕
