The lowest cost per cup we can find in each format, pulled live rather than written down and left to rot.

Every list on this page is generated from current catalogue prices when the page loads, not typed out once and forgotten. That means it is right today, and it means it will look different next month — which is the honest way to publish a "cheapest right now" list.

Cheapest overall

Across every format, sorted purely on price per cup. Instant usually dominates the top of this list, for the simple reason that a 2g serving of instant is a lot less coffee than an 18g espresso dose.

Cheapest whole beans

Large bags do most of the work here. If a 1kg bag is within your six-week drinking window, this is where the best value in the whole market usually sits.

Check compatibility before you buy — a cheap capsule that does not fit your machine is not a saving. The pod compatibility guide covers which capsules work with which system.

Cheapest is not the same as best value. A coffee you do not enjoy and do not finish costs more per cup than the number on this page suggests.
