Did anyone hear about [this](https://www.oddcoffeeco.com/) ? Got this link from someone who is very dear to me and cares about minimising wastes, environment, …. Obviously, I thanked the person for sharing this link, praising for the effort and caring so much. Considering the price point, it is unlikely to be fresh but perhaps not stale enough to drink. To be honest, I have seen some roasters still selling beans 2 months past the roast date. One roaster showed their roasted coffee - medium and medium dark, from 10 KG IKEA storage box.

Interesting idea and it's good that it's going to some use. Many people will be more than happy with it. I expect us lot might not be their target market, we will be worrying about why it failed QC at the roaster. Could be good for seasoning new burrs. Then again if you have a relationship with your favourite roasters, they'd probably sell you a few kg of QC fail beans for the cost of shipping, especially if you are buying some legit beans to drink at the same time. I have a vague recollection of having done this with Rave or someone similar. They also threw in a jute coffee sack that I hadn't asked for, so I used it to reupholster 2 dining chairs.

General public will be happy to buy as £16 a KG is pretty cheap and better than what you find at the stores. But, let’s not forget Mystery is also similarly priced and the coffee is good.

Personally, | would avoid like the plague! I\t is another example of social marketing. At £16 per kilo, it is very expensive to take a chance on. For btc users and the likes, maybe it is an exciting talking point.....perhaps

@"Cuprajake"#p7875 Ah. Sorry, my bad. The Coffee Compass’s Mystery Mark 14. I have purchased their 13 and the 14. I was surprised, considering the price point.

@"LMSC"#p7862 I will happily drink coffee I roast 2 or 3 months later…even a coffee 2.5 months old will extract looking like it was roasted a week ago.

That oddcoffee's likely to be Commodity coffee, isn't it? How many 'manufacturers' (per their site) use Specialty?

Possible it is a commodity coffee. Their website only mentions best before in 12-15 months. Perhaps, will check with them. We also consume beans roasted even 3-5 months earlier, of course from frozen.

I personally would not buy from them. The capsule thing is understandable, but packaged coffee I don't really grasp. I'd happily however accept fresh coffee into a bag that was used previously to store coffee that didn't sell. The coffee can go to compost, or be sold in bulk to coffee shops who don't care how good or fresh the beans are.

I just saw this in my facebook feed and was wondering how fresh the rescued beans would be. I was nearly tempted, but @"LMSC"#p7877 that seems like a way cheaper and better option. Are they speciality coffees and freshly roasted? The price is appealing.

Since it does not actually state anything meaningful, it could mean absolutely anything you want it to!
