Every Curve 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 Curve 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 Curve coffee we track, across whole bean and ground, on one honest unit.
The quick version
Bright, fruity coffee for people who already know they like it, priced about where you would expect.

What Curve coffee costs
The range runs from 63p to £1.04 a cup across ten products. That is a 1.7× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Curve expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is House Espresso in the 1kg, and the dearest is Birthday Brew Filter in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| House Espresso | — | 1kg | £0.63 | £35.00 |
| Community Espresso | — | 1kg | £0.63 | £35.00 |
| Feature Espresso | — | 1kg | £0.73 | £40.50 |
| Feature Filter | ground | 1kg | £0.79 | £44.00 |
| DECAF Manizales Cooperative | — | 1kg | £0.81 | £45.00 |
| Taferi Kela by Bette Buna | ground | 1kg | £0.83 | £46.00 |
| Feature Espresso | — | 1kg | £0.90 | £50.00 |
| Fredy Orantes | ground | 1kg | £0.92 | £51.00 |
| Betty Buna Megadu Kickstart | — | 1kg | £1.04 | £58.00 |
| Birthday Brew Filter | ground | 1kg | £1.04 | £58.00 |
Bags themselves run £35.00 to £58.00. 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
House Espresso is the cheapest thing Curve sells, at 63p a cup. We cannot yet set that against a market average for whole bean 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.
- 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.
