Every PERCOL 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 PERCOL 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 PERCOL 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 PERCOL coffee costs
The range runs from 7p to 14p a cup across seven products. That is a 2× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is PERCOL expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Espresso Noir Intense in the 600g, and the dearest is Colombia in the 100g.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Espresso Noir Intense | instant | 600g | £0.07 | £36.82 |
| Delicious Decaf | instant | 600g | £0.08 | £38.23 |
| Espresso Noir Full-Flavoured Taste & Silky Crema Finish | instant | 600g | £0.08 | £39.83 |
| Black & Beyond Espresso | instant | 400g | £0.12 | £57.60 |
| Black & Beyond Espresso | instant | 200g | £0.13 | £63.10 |
| Colombia | instant | 100g | £0.14 | £71.80 |
Bags themselves run £7.18 to £23.90. 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 PERCOL, buy Espresso Noir Intense. At 7p a cup it comes in around 31% under the median for instant coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against PERCOL'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?
- PERCOL£0.07 per cup£54
- Typical instant£0.11 per cup, our median£78
At 2 cups a day, PERCOL costs £24 less a year than the typical instant 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.
- 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.
