A note from us

Coffee Beans Shop would like to thank its loyal supporters and new customers for shopping with us this year. After all, taking care of small businesses is what will help in aiding the economic recovery from the pandemic.

In 2020, many small businesses were suffering and too many were forced to close up shop in the wake of Covid. We are grateful that we still have the opportunity to roast fresh coffee beans, every day – and supply them to people who truly love and savour them.

For our supporters, we thank you and look forward to even bigger and better things in 2021!

Merry Christmas to all and have a safe, joyous and relaxed holiday season.

The team from Coffee Beans Shop.

Despite the complete onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic across Australia this year and its several economic repercussions, it has never stopped the fuelling desire for our daily caffeine hit.

It’s certainly been a topsy-turvy year for small business owners Australia-wide, with the retail and hospitality sectors being hit the hardest. With thousands of café owners shutting their doors over the course of the pandemic, the appetite and demand for ordering coffee beans and coffee products at home has dramatically increased. Fortunately, Coffee Beans Shop has seen an overall growth in business this year, with hundreds of new Aussie customers jumping on board to support us. For that, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude and thanks.

Here at Coffee Beans Shop, we are incredibly proud to call ourselves a 100 per cent Australian-owned local business, sourcing the best coffee beans from all four corners of the globe, we are your go-to coffee roasters!

Hailing from the Gold Coast in sunny Queensland, our headquarters utilises the perfect roasting conditions that match the climate of some of the most premium coffee destinations in the world, meaning your beans will be roasted to their peak for optimum freshness and flavour.

Coffee Beans Shop has recently moved to a new production facility, allowing us to increase our roasting volume, experiment with new blends and to get the best coffee beans to your door, pronto!

While we’ve been a little quiet on the blog front, we’ve been focusing our energy on supplying our many loyal customers throughout the pandemic, ensuring the product is of the highest quality and delivered in a timely fashion.

For the adventurous coffee enthusiast, we’ve really seen an uptick in sales for our mixed coffee beans range and to celebrate, these are all now reduced on our website.

With several of our customers in Victoria and NSW having endured the worst of lockdown conditions during the course of the pandemic, we have also seen strong sales in our Nespresso compatible organic coffee pods, making life during lockdown just that little bit easier.

For the traditionalist, our straight-up coffee beans have been flying off the shelves and into the post to our committed caffeine lovers all over Australia!

We would also like to offer an invitation to our non-members to sign up and join Coffee Beans Shop, where you will receive a 10% discount on your next order and be the first to score some exclusive offers and promos. Talk about a bean bargain!

Australia has endured some unprecedented and strange times the past seven months, but an important thing to take away from all of this is that small business needs its supporters.

While the convenience of going to the supermarket has always appealed to the masses, it’s great to see a shift in the way people’s purchasing behaviours have changed during COVID-19.

It’s really positive to see that many people are starting to get on board with smaller business practices and supporting one another during times of hardship. After all, that’s what the ‘true blue’ Aussie spirit is, right?

Once again, cheers to all our ongoing supporters and a huge thanks to our new customers for signing up with us.

Let’s all hope 2021 is an awesome one with plenty of good times, prosperous business and amazing coffee!

As we are very concerned about what is happening all over the world with the coronavirus we’ve decided to do our own research and find some answers if there are any natural methods that could possibly help us with the initial prevention against this dangerous virus?

Here is the first thing we have discovered on ABC. In Indonesia, people are rushing to buy up medicinal plants like Turmeric and Ginger, as they have traditionally been used for hundreds of years by people trying to boost their immune systems to fight off viruses, colds and flu. Listen to the very interesting podcast by clicking on the image below.

Quote from the Daily Mail from the 5th of March 2020

• There are currently close to 96,500 confirmed coronavirus cases globally
• More than 3,301 people have died as a result of the illness
• Washing your hands and keeping away from high risk areas is the best way to stay safe however there are some immune-boosting foods that could help
• Health professionals recommend onions, garlic, eggs and turmeric
• While they can’t guarantee you won’t get viral infection, they keep body strong

Our business partner, Turmeric Australia, with which we are working on the new product TURMERIC COFFEE PODS (Launching late this month) provided us with a link to the very interesting study talking about the curcumin.

When we read that we’ve decided that it’s a good idea to share information about the benefits of taking turmeric and how we can protect ourselves by boosting our immune system during this cautious time.   

Recently, the active ingredient, curcumin was investigated for its antiviral and antibacterial activity and it was shown to act against various important human pathogens like the influenza virus, hepatitis C virus, HIV and strains of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Pseudomonas.

You can read the full article HERE

Here are some excerpts for you, if you don’t have the time to read it:

. . . . . . .

Curcuma longa rhizome has been traditionally used as an antimicrobial agent as well as an insect repellent. Several studies have reported the broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity for curcumin including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antimalarial activities.

. . . . . . .

It has been demonstrated that curcumin as a plant derivative has a wide range of antiviral activity against different viruses. Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) enzyme due to rate-limiting activity in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides is suggested as a therapeutic target for antiviral and anticancer compounds.

. . . . . . .

The extensive antiviral effects of curcumin against different viral pathogens nominate this compound as an antiviral drug candidate to develop new antivirals from natural resources against sensitive viruses especially by developing different curcumin derivatives.

. . . . . . .

However, all this being said, as far as the Coronavirus is concerned, medicinal herbs/foods like Turmeric and Ginger should only be used for initial preventive methods and should not be touted or believed as the curing medicine.

Coffee is Costa Rica’s third main export commodity and it is one of the best coffee beans in the world. Costa Rica coffee beans are known for their quality and strong coffee scent.It is one of the best coffee beans you should check out if you want to buy coffee beans online. Although the history of this coffee beans is best experienced by traveling through Costa Rica, this article will equip you with all the information you need to know about the Costa Rica coffee beans and where to buy coffee seeds online.

The history of Costa Rica coffee beans can be traced to the 18th century. Coffee was brought from Ethiopia to Costa Rica in 1779 and was first grown in the Central Valley. Coffee plantations thrived in the area due to its cool climate and fertile soil. The coffee beans were exported to Chile via Panama where they were repackaged as Café Chileno de Valparaiso and imported to Europe through Arabia. This is why Costa Rica coffee beans are called Costa Arabia.

The Costa Rican government recognized the revenue potential of Costa Rica coffee beans and started making regulations to encourage the growth of the industry. Coffee farmers were given free land for coffee plantation and production increased significantly. By 1829, revenue made from Costa Rica coffee beans exceeded their top exports – cocoa, sugar, and tobacco – and coffee became the country’s major export commodity.

The history of Costa Rica coffee beans will not be complete without mentioning how it helped in the modernization and development of the country. The first railway – Ferrocarril al Atlantico – in Costa Rica was funded from coffee revenue. Moreover, the country’s national theatre was also built with coffee revenue. Till today, the huge architectural edifice is considered one of Costa Rica’s major tourist sites. Aside from the major development in Costa Rica that can be attributed to Coffee, it is generally believed that coffee played a major role in Costa Rica’s growth.

Costa Rican government established the Coffee Defence Institute (IDECAFE) in 1983 to regulate the industry. The FairTrade principle was adopted by the regulatory body to ensure a just distribution of benefits among the growers, millers, and exporters. The British invested hugely in Costa Rica coffee beans and they were the major importer till the beginning of World War II.

Today, Costa Rica coffee beans are presently recognized as one of the best coffee beans in the world and it is exported to several countries across the globe.

You’ve bought your coffee beans online and when you get them, you realise that in this Australian heat in summer, you are not sure how to store your coffee beans. We are here to help at Coffee Beans Shop! Firstly, coffee characteristics are maintained longer as we roast and grind on demand.  But how do you store the coffee beans?

To explain, knowledge usually means more power and learning how to store your coffee beans during the hot summer leads to increased potency.  When it comes to coffee, potency always helps.  Heat, air, water and time are critical factors as far as coffee beans are concerned.  Roasted coffee does not like exposure to heat, because that increases its urge to release its goodness prematurely resulting in stale coffee.  Nobody enjoys stale coffee so therefore going the extra mile to understand and learn how to store your coffee beans in summer makes all the difference.  Coffee hates being exposed to air, oxidisation is bad news, spoiling the coffee beans far too soon.  Consequently, time permit these factors to come into play, even in the best storage conditions, as a result, take into consideration that a coffee clock begins to tick the precise moment your beans have been roasted.  Mastering how to store your coffee beans allows you the ability to reap its full benefits. After all, you want to make sure you are keeping the coffee beans you buy online in the best possibly way to enjoy them the most.

Keeping Your Coffee Beans Fresh

Some true coffee aficionados may opt to drink their properly roasted and packed coffee within the first few weeks of buying, however, that option is probably not practical for most.  Just learning how to keep your coffee as fresh as possible is very easy now thanks to the power of the internet.  Right off the bat, you should make sure to buy your coffee in bags fitted with one-way valves.  Avoid purchasing coffee that doesn’t come in adequate packaging.  Coffee beans emit gases after roasting that need to escape and you need to be able to expel excess air after opening the bag.  Failing to do so might make your coffee susceptible to going stale quicker than you can imagine.

Next, be sure to store your coffee in a cool, dark cupboard or a place completely out of reach of direct sunlight or perhaps other heat sources such as kettles, coffee machines, ovens, microwaves or stoves.  Coffee characteristics is maintained longer as we roast and grind on demand.  All coffee grinded or ungrinded is best stored in a cool dry place using air sealed containers.  Handle your coffee beans with care like precious pinot!  After you break the seal, it’s probably best served within a fortnight or so.

Don’t Freeze Your Coffee Beans!

Avoid freezing and refrigerating your beans because the frequent change in temperature leads to condensation inside the packet.  We already alluded to how water and air can affect coffee beans considerably.  If your machine has some sort of hopper where you can store coffee beans at the ready with just the easy push of a button whereby delivering your coffee on demand, it’s best to maintain it as close to empty as possible especially during the hot summer months.  Coffee beans require adequate protection from the elements.  Position them away from undue exposure to air and heat sources. Now you can buy your coffee beans online with confidence in Summer knowing you understand the best way to store them!

Are you having your daily cup of coffee each day and wondering if it’s good for your health? Well, you can rest assured, coffee gives you no need to feel guilty for indulging in your daily wake up each morning. So, grab those freshly roasted coffee beans and make yourself a cup of coffee!

A study undertaken at Britain’s Southampton University sheds light on how coffee affects our body. Analysing results from over 430,000 participants across nine different published studies, it was found coffee may help reduce liver damage related to excess of food and alcoholic drinks. The study showed a reduction in developing liver cirrhosis by simply drinking two extra cups of a day. How much was the reduction? Drinking one to two cups per day showed a 22-43% risk reduction, while drinking three or four cups showed a reduction of 57-65%. While there is no cure for cirrhosis, reducing the risk of developing this potentially fatal disease is of interest.

Coffee and the Liver

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, liver disease was the 11^th leading cause of premature death in Australian in 2010-2012 with men accounting for 2 in 3 of these people in 2012 alone. While there are many ways to ensure your liver health is strong, it is good to know drinking coffee may help protect your liver. With more than one million people worldwide dying each year from liver cirrhosis, and no known cure, this disease, which can be caused by excessive alcohol consumption, hepatitis infections, fatty liver disease and immune disorders, is one disease you don’t want to develop.

At this stage, the researchers were unable to say exactly how the coffee would need to be brewed or what type of coffee, however their study is promising to all of us coffee drinkers, giving us another reason to reach for our coffee beans each day to make a fresh coffee.  Now, who wants a coffee?

When it comes to your body and what may be good for you or not, sometimes it’s hard to discern fact from misconception.  In this blog post, we explore the myth about coffee and workouts.  For all the Australians who love your coffee each day listen up! Coffee, if consumed before exercise, actually causes fat cells to be used as an energy source as opposed to glycogen.  You heard right! Quick, grab that coffee and start drinking! This will also help prevent cramps.  Furthermore, the high amounts of caffeine in black coffee will help increase your metabolism, which makes you burn more calories throughout the day.

How does Coffee Effect my Workout?

But how does this relate to my workout? Well, simply put, by having coffee before exercise, it enhances all these effects.  Additionally, caffeine and other compounds present in coffee serve as appetite suppressants, making you consume less overall.  Therefore, coffee beans for all of you living in Australia or other parts of the world should definitely be top of your shopping list!  Downing a cup of your favorite morning caffeine could definitely inspire you to a different level of energy boost right before your workout.

For all those seeking some academic valuation, consider that numerous studies have shown a link between caffeine intake pre-workout and increased ability to sustain athletic performance.  There was a report published in Sports Medicine that described caffeine as a “powerful ergogenic aid,” and also went on to state that athletes could “train at a greater power output and/or train longer” post caffeine consumption.  If that’s not enough for you, another study published in the very reputable British Journal of Sports Science discovered that participants who consumed coffee before running 1500 metres on the treadmill completed their run 4.2 seconds faster than the control group, on average.  As the saying goes, if there’s smoke, expect some fire! With all this good news about consuming coffee before your next workout, we are sure you’ll be ready to reach for those coffee beans to make your favourite cup of coffee before your next workout.

Along with increased energy to push through rigorous workouts, coffee also helps you reach an elevated level of sustained focus.  During your workout sessions, increased mental focus is always a bonus to help you be as efficient, effective and productive as possible, after all we know you have got plenty of other things on your to-do list.   Researchers from the University of Illinois also determined that consuming some coffee prior to workout was conducive to less muscle pain using a control group.  Coffee also contains high amounts of antioxidants, which protect against damage from free radicals.  It’s recommended that you consume coffee approximately one hour prior to working out without any worry about possible dehydration. With all that said, who’s up for a coffee and a workout?

Coffee Beans Storage Tips from your friends at Coffee Beans Shop Australia! One of the premier destinations to get some of the most tantalizing and daily roasted coffee online.

There are several heated debates regarding the best methods to store and preserve the freshness of your roasted coffee beans. Whether you have purchased wholesale coffee beans, coffee online or even green coffee beans, there are various ways to ensure the maximum life expectancy of your beloved brew!

It is worth noting that roasted coffee beans begin an instant flavor profile deterioration and an overall coffee quality degeneration as soon as the coffee has been roasted, yet we cannot take this too seriously as we can’t all be around to have a freshly ground espresso the moment the coffee has finished roasting, that would be preposterous! To put it in perspective with realistic expectations, the general rule of thumb is that noticeable deterioration occurs on average 72 hours after roasting, so ensure you are buying coffee from those who do it best; daily! To maximize the potential of the coffee you love and crave so dearly. Coffee is ideally best to be consumed within three to four weeks, so buy in smaller batches to ensure you are getting the best out of your beans.

A common misconception in coffee circles is that you must store coffee in the fridge, this isn’t always necessary. Ensure whole coffee beans are stored in an airtight, zip sealed bag or dark container in a cool, dark place such as a kitchen cupboard. Keep coffee away from moisture as this can damage the beans, this is why I don’t recommend using the fridge as moisture can often creep into corners of your stored coffee. My best advice would be to grind coffee on demand (if possible) to guarantee the freshest, tastiest coffee possible. I do encourage those buying in large quantities to store coffee beans in the freezer in an airtight bag or container. Just remember guys, air and water are coffees two worst enemies! keep them away from warm temperatures and you should assure a perfect brew for even the most particular of coffee aficionados!

Enjoy your beans!
