Every Little’s 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 Little’s 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 Little’s coffee we track, across pods and instant, on one honest unit.
The quick version
A jar for the mornings when thirty seconds is the budget, at a price that expects you to care.

What Little’s coffee costs
Everything Little’s sells lands at the same 14p a cup, across 14 products. That makes the choice about roast and origin rather than money.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lively Ethiopian | instant | 100g | £0.14 | £70.00 |
| Dreamy Decaf | instant | 100g | £0.14 | £70.00 |
| Smooth Colombian | instant | 100g | £0.14 | £70.00 |
| Bold Italian | instant | 100g | £0.14 | £70.00 |
| Organic House Blend | instant | 100g | £0.14 | £70.00 |
Bags themselves run £4.25 to £7.00. 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
Lively Ethiopian is the cheapest thing Little’s sells, at 14p a cup. We cannot yet set that against a market average for instant 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
- 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.
