Every Coffee Gems 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 Coffee Gems 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 Coffee Gems coffee we track, across whole bean and ground, on one honest unit.

Bright, fruity coffee for people who already know they like it, at less than most people pay.

What Coffee Gems coffee costs
The range runs from 57p to £3.17 a cup across 14 products. That is a 5.6× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Coffee Gems expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is The Pilgrim in the 2kg, and the dearest is Cerro Azul in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Pilgrim | — | 2kg | £0.57 | £31.50 |
| Summer Daze | ground | 2kg | £0.57 | £31.50 |
| Humble Juan | — | 2kg | £0.57 | £31.50 |
| Don Joaco | — | 2kg | £0.57 | £31.88 |
| La Mariposa | — | 2kg | £0.58 | £32.38 |
| Gato Bandido | — | 2kg | £0.58 | £32.38 |
| La Jaquima | — | 2kg | £0.61 | £33.75 |
| Sakubel | — | 2kg | £0.65 | £36.25 |
| Kagumo Aa | ground | 2kg | £0.66 | £36.75 |
| El Cansado | — | 2kg | £0.73 | £40.75 |
| Oso Perezoso | — | 2kg | £0.77 | £43.00 |
| Finca Florestales | — | 2kg | £1.17 | £65.00 |
Bags themselves run £63.00 to £176.00. 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 Coffee Gems, buy Summer Daze. At 57p a cup it comes in around 20% under the median for ground coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Coffee Gems'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.
