Lyons coffee price guide

Every Lyons 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 Lyons 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 Lyons coffee we track, across instant, on one honest unit.

The quick version

A jar for the mornings when thirty seconds is the budget, and it is cheap.

What Lyons coffee costs

Everything Lyons sells lands at the same 6p a cup, across one product. That makes the choice about roast and origin rather than money.

The one to buy

If you buy one thing from Lyons, buy Gold Roast Tin Luxury Freeze Dried. At 6p a cup it comes in around 43% under the median for instant coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Lyons's own list prices. Nothing else in the range gets close on that test.

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.
