The best coffee offers this month

Not sticker discounts — products that are genuinely cheap per cup against everything else in their format.

A "was £12, now £9" sticker tells you what a retailer wants you to think, not whether the coffee is good value. Everything below is judged against a harder test: how its cost per cup compares with the middle of its own format, right now.

How these are chosen

We take the median price per cup for each format, then surface products sitting meaningfully below it. That is a claim we can stand behind from our own data, and it does not depend on a retailer telling us what the price used to be.

Best value beans

Best value pods

Pods are where the widest value gap in the market sits, because the machine brands and the compatible capsule makers are selling into the same machine at very different prices.

How to judge an offer yourself

  1. Convert to price per cup or per kilo before anything else.
  2. Compare it against the format, not against its own previous price.
  3. Check the pack size has not shrunk — the same price for less coffee is a price rise.
  4. Ask whether you will drink it fresh. A bulk offer you cannot finish is not an offer.
