Every CRU Kafe 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 CRU Kafe 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 CRU Kafe coffee we track, across whole bean and pods, on one honest unit.
The quick version
Weekday capsules for people who want the cup, not the ritual, and it undercuts the average.

What CRU Kafe coffee costs
The range runs from 39p to 45p a cup across 14 products. That is a 1.2× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is CRU Kafe expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Organic Colombian in the 320 pods, and the dearest is Organic Honduran Beans & Ground in the 6kg.

| Organic Espresso Beans & Ground | whole bean | 6kg | £0.45 | £25.00 |
Bags themselves run £30.00 to £149.99. 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 CRU Kafe, buy Organic Colombian Beans & Ground. At 45p a cup it comes in around 29% under the median for whole bean coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against CRU Kafe'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.
- 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.
