I purchased the sample pack and was absolutely delighted in how quickly it arrived, it only took two days to arrive in Sydney. I already know how good the quality of the beans are having lived most of my life in Brisbane and I was not disappointed. I changed from Nespresso as the taste was too chemically and I am so glad I did. Merlo will be my ongoing bean purchase.

The Merlo sample pack is our staple coffee. We live in Melbourne, supposedly the coffee capital, but rely on Merlo coffee for superior subtlety, and variety, which we have not found locally. We never tire of its quality.
