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

What James Gourmet Coffee coffee costs
The range runs from 41p to 92p a cup across 19 products. That is a 2.3× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is James Gourmet Coffee expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Brazil Alianca Estate Coffee Espresso in the 1kg, and the dearest is Costa Rica Volcan Azul SL28 One Roast in the 1kg.

The one to buy
If you buy one thing from James Gourmet Coffee, buy Brazil Alianca Estate Coffee Filter. At 41p a cup it comes in around 42% under the median for ground coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against James Gourmet Coffee'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.
