Every Coffee Factory 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 Coffee Factory 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 Coffee Factory coffee we track, across whole bean, ground and pods, on one honest unit.

What Coffee Factory coffee costs
The range runs from 41p to 60p a cup across 16 products. That is a 1.5× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Coffee Factory expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is No Waste Misfits Blend in the 1kg, and the dearest is Uganda Bujuku Valley in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No Waste Misfits Blend | — | 1kg | £0.41 | £22.95 |
| Black Bear | pods | 10 pods | £0.49 | — |
| Daily Brew Blend | — | 1kg | £0.58 | £31.95 |
| Big Red Coffee Blend | ground | 1kg | £0.58 | £31.95 |
| Black Bear Coffee Blend | — | 1kg | £0.58 | £31.95 |
| El Salvador Santa Ana | — | 1kg | £0.58 | £32.30 |
| Seasonal Decaf | — | 1kg | £0.59 | £32.95 |
| Kenya Kamundu | — | 1kg | £0.60 | £33.50 |
| Brazil Monteiro Lobato | — | 1kg | £0.60 | £33.50 |
| Brazil Vinhal Estate | — | 1kg | £0.60 | £33.50 |
| Guatemala Monte Rosa | — | 1kg | £0.60 | £33.50 |
| Uganda Bujuku Valley | — | 1kg | £0.60 | £33.50 |
Bags themselves run £4.95 to £33.50. 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 Coffee Factory, buy Big Red Coffee Blend. At 58p a cup it comes in around 19% under the median for ground coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Coffee Factory'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.
- 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.
