Every Carte Noire 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 Carte Noire 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 Carte Noire coffee we track, across pods, on one honest unit.

What Carte Noire coffee costs
The range runs from 21p to 25p a cup across three products. That is a 1.2× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Carte Noire expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Espresso Classique in the 60 pods, and the dearest is Espresso Lungo in the 60 pods.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Espresso Classique | pods | 60 pods | £0.20 | — |
| Espresso Intense | pods | 60 pods | £0.24 | — |
| Espresso Lungo | pods | 60 pods | £0.25 | — |
Bags themselves run £12.30 to £15.23. 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 Carte Noire, buy Espresso Classique. At 21p a cup it comes in around 60% under the median for pods coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Carte Noire'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?
- Carte Noire£0.20 per cup£150
- Typical pods£0.52 per cup, our median£378
At 2 cups a day, Carte Noire costs £228 less a year than the typical pods coffee we track. That is the same coffee habit, bought better.
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.
- For pods, price a compatible capsule for your machine first. The brand premium on capsules is usually the largest one going.
- Check again before you reorder. Whoever was cheapest last month frequently is not.
