And half an hour later the man has tried to return the coffee for a refund at the Valentines Wodonga Plaza store, which is owned by the same family.
Owner Harry Perry said it was a "disappointing" thing to happen so close to Christmas.
"So this morning my brother Joe was at the White Box Rise store and the coffee and brand new expensive grinder was stolen from the back of his ute," he said.

"And then the man came into our Wodonga Plaza store and asked the girls if they would buy it back because he had bought too much coffee.
"The girls thankfully rang me because we haven't had that before and isn't something we would do.
"It all kind of happened before we knew anything was stolen.
"We have CCTV footage of the man in question and have given everything over to police."
Mr Perry said police were also hoping to get finger prints from the vehicle.
Any information about the theft can be reported to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Wodonga police.
