What Craft House Coffee sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
Craft House Coffee asks 65p a cup at its cheapest, which is more than most whole bean 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
A light roast with real acidity, best drunk black, at the going rate.

What kind of roaster this is
Craft House Coffee sells whole bean in the UK, and we track 10 of their coffees, in 1kg.
70% of the Craft House Coffee 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. The buying reaches 6 countries across the range, which is a wide book for a brand this size. The roasting spans 4 of our five levels, so there is a genuine choice to make inside the range rather than one house style applied to everything. Every bag we list is a kilo or more, which is what pushes the per-cup figure down and also what makes this a bad fit if you drink slowly, since coffee is past its best four to six weeks after roasting.

What Craft House Coffee coffee costs
The range runs from 58p to 70p a cup across ten products. That is a 1.2× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Craft House Coffee expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Brazil Bossa Nova in the 1kg, and the dearest is Brazil Fazenda Aracacu in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brazil Bossa Nova | — | 1kg | £0.58 | £32.00 |
| Industrial House Blend | — | 1kg | £0.61 | £33.95 |
| Development House Blend | — | 1kg | £0.61 | £33.95 |
| El Salvador El Molino | — | 1kg | £0.63 | £35.00 |
| Decaf Colombia Tumbaga | whole bean | 1kg | £0.65 | £35.95 |
| Rwanda Kinini Rebero | — | 1kg | £0.65 | £36.00 |
| Burundi Masenga Hill | — | 1kg | £0.68 | £37.95 |
| Colombia El Muro | — | 1kg | £0.68 | £38.00 |
| Guatemala Paya' | — | 1kg | £0.68 | £38.00 |
| Brazil Fazenda Aracacu | — | 1kg | £0.70 | £38.95 |
Bags themselves run £32.00 to £38.95. 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
Brazil Bossa Nova is the cheapest thing Craft House Coffee sells, at 58p a cup. We cannot yet set that against a market average for whole bean coffee, so treat it as the floor of the range rather than a verdict on value.
What that costs over a year
How much coffee do you drink?
- Craft House Coffee£0.65 per cup£472
- Typical whole bean£0.63 per cup, our median£460
At 2 cups a day, Craft House Coffee costs £12 more a year than the typical whole bean coffee we track. Worth knowing before you commit to a subscription.
How Craft House Coffee tastes
We have not tasted Craft House Coffee, 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 Craft House Coffee 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.
- Households getting through real volume. The kilo bags are the whole value case, and they only work if you drink them fresh.
- People who want to choose their own roast rather than take the roaster's word for it, since the range covers 4 of our five levels.
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. Craft House Coffee 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.
