Brown Bear coffee price guide

Every Brown Bear coffee we track, priced per cup — and which one is actually worth buying.

Brown Bear sells whole bean and ground in the UK, and like every brand the range hides a wide spread once you price it per cup instead of per pack. This guide converts the whole range onto one unit and shows where the value sits.

What Brown Bear coffee costs

We track 6 Brown Bear products, spanning £0.38 to £0.79 per cup — a 2.1× spread within one brand. The cheapest is Blue Mountain (1kg); the most expensive is Indian Monsoon Malabar Strong Aged (227g).

Pack prices run from £8.99 to £29.99. As always, the pack price is the least useful number here — the per-cup column is the one that compares.

Best value in the range

Blue Mountain is the strongest value Brown Bear currently offers: at £0.38 per cup it sits about 18% below the median cup price for whole bean coffee across everything we track. That is a comparison against the whole market, not against Brown Bear's own list prices.

How to buy this brand for less

  1. Compare the per-cup column above, not the pack prices — the ordering is frequently different.
  2. Take the largest pack you will finish in about six weeks; pack size moves price per kilo more than anything else.
  3. Check whether the same coffee is sold in a larger bag elsewhere in the range.
  4. Re-check before you reorder. The cheapest seller for a given product changes week to week.
