Every Brown Bear 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 Brown Bear 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 Brown Bear coffee we track, across whole bean and ground, on one honest unit.

What Brown Bear coffee costs
The range runs from 36p to 79p a cup across eight products. That is a 2.2× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Brown Bear expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Uganda in the 1kg, and the dearest is Indian Monsoon Malabar Strong Aged in the 227g.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uganda | ground | 1kg | £0.36 | £19.99 |
| Wonky Mystery Zero Waste | ground | 1kg | £0.36 | £19.99 |
| Blue Mountain | whole bean | 1kg | £0.45 | £24.99 |
| Ethiopian | whole bean | 1kg | £0.54 | £29.99 |
| Guatemala Antigua | ground | 227g | £0.71 | £39.60 |
| Ethiopian | whole bean | 227g | £0.71 | £39.60 |
| Honduras | ground | 227g | £0.79 | £44.01 |
| Indian Monsoon Malabar Strong Aged | ground | 227g | £0.79 | £44.01 |
Bags themselves run £8.99 to £29.99. 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 Brown Bear, buy Uganda. At 36p a cup it comes in around 49% under the median for ground coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Brown Bear's own list prices. Nothing else in the range gets close on that test.

What that costs over a year
How much coffee do you drink?
- Brown Bear£0.36 per cup£263

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.
