Every El Carmen Washing Station coffee we track, priced per cup, and which bag is actually the cheap one.

A El Carmen Washing Station 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 El Carmen Washing Station coffee we track, across whole bean, ground and pods, on one honest unit.

What El Carmen Washing Station coffee costs
The range runs from 42p to 73p a cup across 15 products. That is a 1.7× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is El Carmen Washing Station expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Colombia El Carmen Decaf in the 33 pods, and the dearest is Burundi Izuba in the 1kg.

The one to buy
If you buy one thing from El Carmen Washing Station, buy Shop Filter. At 51p a cup it comes in around 27% under the median for ground coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against El Carmen Washing Station'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?
- El Carmen Washing Station£0.42 per cup£309
- Typical pods£0.52 per cup, our median£378
At 2 cups a day, El Carmen Washing Station costs £69 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.
