Every Welsh Coffee 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 Welsh Coffee 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 Welsh Coffee coffee we track, across whole bean, on one honest unit.
The quick version
Easy-drinking coffee with caramel and chocolate about it, for remarkably little money.

What Welsh Coffee coffee costs
The range runs from 50p to 53p a cup across seven products. That is a 1.1× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Welsh Coffee expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Bean Colombian in the 1kg, and the dearest is Bendigedig in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bean Colombian | whole bean | 1kg | £0.49 | £27.50 |
| Nicaragua | — | 1kg | £0.49 | £27.50 |
| Guatemala | — | 1kg | £0.49 | £27.50 |
| Gold/Aur | — | 1kg | £0.49 | £27.50 |
| Dragon/Draig | — | 1kg | £0.49 | £27.50 |
| Hanner | — | 1kg | £0.52 | £29.00 |
| Bendigedig | — | 1kg | £0.53 | £29.50 |
Bags themselves run £27.50 to £29.50. 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 Welsh Coffee, buy Bean Colombian. At 50p a cup it comes in around 21% under the median for whole bean coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Welsh Coffee'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.
