Every Old Spike 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 Old Spike 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 Old Spike coffee we track, across whole bean and ground, on one honest unit.
The quick version
Balanced everyday coffee that suits almost everyone, priced about where you would expect.

What Old Spike coffee costs
The range runs from 43p to 83p a cup across eight products. That is a 1.9× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Old Spike expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is 4Kg's in the 4kg, and the dearest is EL DIABLO Natural in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4Kg's | — | 4kg | £0.43 | £23.75 |
| Benedict House Blend | — | 1kg | £0.54 | £30.00 |
| Arnhem Blend | whole bean | 1kg | £0.58 | £32.00 |
| House Espresso | ground | 1kg | £0.72 | £40.00 |
| Munchique Los Tigres | ground | 1kg | £0.77 | £43.00 |
| Happy Capybara decaf | ground | 1kg | £0.77 | £43.00 |
| Beatriz GuimarãEs | ground | 1kg | £0.79 | £44.00 |
| EL DIABLO Natural | — | 1kg | £0.83 | £46.00 |
Bags themselves run £30.00 to £95.00. 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
If you buy one thing from Old Spike, buy Arnhem Blend. At 58p a cup it comes in around 9% under the median for whole bean coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Old Spike'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.
