6 Coffee Brands Aussies Should Avoid and 4 Hidden Gems!

Описание: 6 Coffee Brands Aussies Should Avoid (And 4 Hidden Gems!)

That “coffee” in your fridge or cupboard might not be what you think it is.
Not because it’s illegal or unsafe.
But because labels, formats, and marketing often create a gap between what you assume you’re buying—and what’s actually in the bottle, pod, or jar.

In this report, we break down the biggest patterns showing up across Australian supermarket coffee:
• “Coffee drinks” where coffee is a tiny percentage
• Branding that borrows trust from cafés and premium cues
• Convenience formats that hide roast dates, origin, and grind age
• The quiet trade-offs: freshness, transparency, cost-per-cup, and waste

Then we switch gears and show the “hidden gems”—the options that hold up better under scrutiny because they’re easier to verify and less dependent on vague marketing.

By the end, you’ll know:
✅ the 15-second “ingredient order” rule that changes how you read labels
✅ why “coffee drink” wording matters
✅ why pods are convenient but come with hidden trade-offs
✅ how to pick better coffee without spending boutique money
