Every Nescafé Dolce Gusto 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 Nescafé Dolce Gusto 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 Nescafé Dolce Gusto coffee we track, across pods, on one honest unit.
The quick version
Weekday capsules for people who want the cup, not the ritual, and it costs very little.

What Nescafé Dolce Gusto coffee costs
The range runs from 19p to 42p a cup across 11 products. That is a 2.2× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Nescafé Dolce Gusto expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Café Au Lait in the 90 pods, and the dearest is Latte Macchiato in the 24 pods.

Bags themselves run £10.00 to £17.19. 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
If you buy one thing from Nescafé Dolce Gusto, buy Café Au Lait. At 19p a cup it comes in around 63% under the median for pods coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Nescafé Dolce Gusto's own list prices. Nothing else in the range gets close on that test.

What that costs over a year
How much coffee do you drink?

At 2 cups a day, Nescafé Dolce Gusto costs £239 less a year than the typical pods coffee we track. That is the same coffee habit, bought better.
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.
