What Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious asks 11p a cup at its cheapest, which is more than most instant coffee we list. Plenty of brands charge that and are worth it. The question is what you get for the difference, so here is the range, what it costs against everything else, and where we would put the money.
Short answer
Instant coffee for speed over ceremony, priced about where you would expect.

What kind of roaster this is
Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious sells instant in the UK, and we track 2 of their coffees, in 500g and 600g.
100% of the Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious range we can classify is blended. Blending has a bad name it does not deserve; it is how a roaster keeps a coffee tasting like itself when the harvest behind it changes, and it is the reason your regular bag is still your regular bag in January. Everything is roasted to the same point on our five-point scale, so the roast is not a choice you make here; it is the house style, take it or leave it. Nothing here comes in a kilo bag. That keeps the coffee fresher in your cupboard and costs you the bulk discount, which is the trade you are making whether or not anyone points it out. Decaf is 50% of the range, which is unusually well served; most brands treat it as an afterthought.

What Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious coffee costs
The range runs from 11p to 15p a cup across two products. That is a 1.4× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Organic in the 500g, and the dearest is Decaf Organic in the 600g.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Organic | instant | 500g | £0.11 | £53.50 |
| Decaf Organic | instant | 600g | £0.15 | £77.47 |
Bags themselves run £26.75 to £46.48. 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
Organic is the cheapest thing Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious sells, at 11p a cup. We cannot yet set that against a market average for instant coffee, so treat it as the floor of the range rather than a verdict on value.

How Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious tastes
We have not tasted Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious, so we are not going to invent a tasting note. A flavour score we did not earn would be worth less than none, and this section would be the easiest place on the site to quietly make one up. What we can show you is measured: where every coffee in the range sits on our own five-point roast scale, and which origins go into it. Roast is the strongest single predictor of whether a cup arrives bright and fruity or dark and chocolatey, so it is the closest honest answer to what this brand is like to drink.
How Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious roasts
Every coffee standardised onto our own five-point scale rather than the roaster's. Read these as tendencies: origin, process and how you brew all move the cup.
Who it suits
- People who found something they like and want it to taste the same next year, which is what a blend is for.
- Slow drinkers, and anyone who would rather buy little and often than watch a kilo go stale.
- People who already know they like a medium roast, because that is essentially all there is here.
Is it good value?
Our test is simple, and it is the same one we apply to everything: cost per cup against the median for the same format. Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious lands around the middle. It is not the cheapest way to a cup of coffee, and the money above the median buys convenience and consistency rather than a smaller bill. Whether that is a fair trade is genuinely your call, not ours.
What else to consider
No brand is worth buying without knowing what sits next to it on price. These are the closest instant coffees we track to Clipper Natural, Fair & Delicious, and the comparison hubs will put all of them on the same per-cup basis if you want to go wider.
