Coffee brands · 1 min readUCC coffee price guide
Every UCC 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 UCC 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 UCC coffee we track, across whole bean, on one honest unit.
The quick version
A strong, dark roast built for milk, and it undercuts the average.

What UCC coffee costs
Everything UCC sells lands at the same 58p a cup, across one product. That makes the choice about roast and origin rather than money.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indonesia Sumatra Orangutan | whole bean | 500g | £0.58 | £31.98 |
The one to buy
If you buy one thing from UCC, buy Indonesia Sumatra Orangutan. 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 UCC's own list prices. Nothing else in the range gets close on that test.
UCC against the whole bean market
Every whole bean coffee we track, cheapest cup on the left. The marker is this brand at its cheapest.
What that costs over a year
How much coffee do you drink?
- UCC£0.58 per cup£420
- Typical whole bean£0.63 per cup, our median£460
At 2 cups a day, UCC costs £40 less a year than the typical whole bean 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.
