Every Bean Brothers coffee we track, priced per cup, and which bag is actually the cheap one.
Coffee is sold by the bag and drunk by the cup, and the two almost never rank in the same order. A Bean Brothers bag that looks dear on the shelf can turn out to be the cheapest thing here once you divide it out, and the one that looks like a bargain often is not. So here is every Bean Brothers coffee we track, across whole bean and ground, on one honest unit.
The quick version
A light roast with real acidity, best drunk black, and it is cheap.

What Bean Brothers coffee costs
The range runs from 53p to 58p a cup across four products. That is a 1.1× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Bean Brothers expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Derek in the 1kg, and the dearest is Sonora Honey "Red Gold" in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derek | — | 1kg | £0.53 | £29.60 |
| Stocking Filter | ground | 1kg | £0.54 | £29.80 |
| Brazil 'Tropical Bahia' | — | 1kg | £0.54 | £29.90 |
| Sonora Honey "Red Gold" | whole bean | 1kg | £0.58 | £32.20 |
Bags themselves run £29.60 to £32.20. Ignore that column. A bigger bag costs more and almost always costs less per cup, which is the only number that follows you home.
The one to buy
If you buy one thing from Bean Brothers, buy Stocking Filter. At 54p a cup it comes in around 24% under the median for ground coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Bean Brothers's own list prices. Nothing else in the range gets close on that test.

How to pay less for it
- Read the per-cup column, not the shelf price. They order differently more often than not.
- Buy the biggest bag you will finish in about six weeks. Pack size moves the per-kilo price further than anything else on this page.
- Check whether the same coffee turns up in a larger bag further down the range. It often does, at a lower rate.
- Check again before you reorder. Whoever was cheapest last month frequently is not.
