Every Coaltown 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 Coaltown 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 Coaltown coffee we track, across whole bean, ground and pods, on one honest unit.

Weekday capsules for people who want the cup, not the ritual, priced about where you would expect.

What Coaltown coffee costs
The range runs from 63p to £1.80 a cup across 14 products. That is a 2.9× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Coaltown expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Black Gold No.3 in the 10 pods, and the dearest is Unearthed Vol 3 in the 1kg.

| Solstice | — | 1kg | £0.92 | £51.00 |
Bags themselves run £6.25 to £99.95. 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
Black Gold No.3 is the cheapest thing Coaltown sells, at 63p a cup. We cannot yet set that against a market average for pods coffee, so treat it as the floor of the range rather than a verdict on value.

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.
