Every Department of Coffee and Social Affairs 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 Department of Coffee and Social Affairs 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 Department of Coffee and Social Affairs coffee we track on one honest unit.

What Department of Coffee and Social Affairs coffee costs
The range runs from 75p to 94p a cup across seven products. That is a 1.3× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Department of Coffee and Social Affairs expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is East End Blend in the 1kg, and the dearest is Curiosity of Colombia in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| East End Blend | — | 1kg | £0.75 | £41.40 |
| Club | — | 1kg | £0.76 | £42.00 |
| Decaf | — | 1kg | £0.81 | £45.00 |
| After Dark | — | 1kg | £0.94 | £52.20 |
| From Jimma with Love | — | 1kg | £0.94 | £52.20 |
| Nyeri Sunset | — | 1kg | £0.94 | £52.20 |
| Curiosity of Colombia | — | 1kg | £0.94 | £52.20 |
Bags themselves run £41.40 to £52.20. 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
East End Blend is the cheapest thing Department of Coffee and Social Affairs sells, at 75p a cup. We cannot yet set that against a market average, because the range is not yet classified by format, 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.
