Elegant coffee coffee review

What Elegant coffee sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.

Updated 3 September 2026Written by the We Try Coffee team

Elegant coffee asks 72p 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

Easy-drinking coffee with caramel and chocolate about it, at the going rate.

What kind of roaster this is

Elegant coffee sells whole bean in the UK, and we track 1 of its coffees, in 250g.

This is an origin-led range: just 0% blended. You are buying a specific harvest rather than a recipe, so treat the lineup as a snapshot rather than a catalogue. 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. Indonesia turns up in 100% of the range, so it is fair to call that the backbone of what they buy.

What Elegant coffee coffee costs

Everything Elegant coffee sells lands at the same 72p a cup, across one product. That makes the choice about roast and origin rather than money.

The one to buy

Temanggung is the cheapest thing Elegant coffee sells, at 72p 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?
  • Elegant coffee£0.72 per cup£525
  • Typical whole bean£0.63 per cup, our median£460

At 2 cups a day, Elegant coffee costs £65 more a year than the typical whole bean coffee we track. Worth knowing before you commit to a subscription.

How Elegant coffee tastes

We have not tasted Elegant 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 Elegant 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 want to taste the difference between one origin and the next, and do not mind that their favourite may be gone by spring.
  • 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. Elegant 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.
