Grey Seal coffee price guide

Every Grey Seal coffee we track, priced per cup, and which bag is actually the cheap one.

Updated 3 September 2026Written by the We Try Coffee team

Coffee is sold by the bag and drunk by the cup, and the two almost never rank in the same order. A Grey Seal 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 Grey Seal coffee we track, across whole bean, on one honest unit.

The quick version

A light roast with real acidity, best drunk black, at an unremarkable price.

What Grey Seal coffee costs

The range runs from 65p to 68p a cup across four products. That is a 1.1× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Grey Seal expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Colombia Huila in the 1kg, and the dearest is Decaf Brazil Minas Gerais in the 1kg.

Bags themselves run £36.00 to £38.00. 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

Colombia Huila is the cheapest thing Grey Seal sells, at 65p 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.

Prices are the last we fetched and can move. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. It never changes the order, which is always cheapest per cup first.

How to pay less for it

  1. Read the per-cup column, not the shelf price. They order differently more often than not.
  2. 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.
  3. Check whether the same coffee turns up in a larger bag further down the range. It often does, at a lower rate.
  4. Check again before you reorder. Whoever was cheapest last month frequently is not.
