Every Potterbeans 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 Potterbeans 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 Potterbeans coffee we track, across whole bean, on one honest unit.
The quick version
Delicate and fruit-forward rather than strong, at less than most people pay.

What Potterbeans coffee costs
The range runs from 58p to £1.50 a cup across 33 products. That is a 2.6× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Potterbeans expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Indian Monsoon Malabar AA in the 1kg, and the dearest is Ethiopia Uraga Gomoro G1 Supernatural in the 240g.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indian Monsoon Malabar AA | whole bean | 1kg | £0.58 | £32.00 |
| Omni Roast blend | whole bean | 1.2kg | £0.60 | £33.33 |
| 1.2kg Tin Brazil Eagle Mogiana | whole bean | 1.2kg | £0.60 | £33.33 |

| Peru Decaf Swiss Water Process Organic | whole bean | 1kg | £0.65 | £36.00 |
Bags themselves run £20.00 to £70.00. 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 Potterbeans, buy Indian Monsoon Malabar AA. 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 Potterbeans'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.
