What Full Spectrum Coffee sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
Full Spectrum Coffee sells 5 coffees in the UK, and like every brand the range hides a wide spread once you price it by the cup instead of by the bag. Here is what it contains and what it actually costs to drink.

Delicate and fruit-forward rather than strong.

What kind of roaster this is
Full Spectrum Coffee sells coffee in the UK, and we track 5 of their coffees, in 1kg.
Full Spectrum Coffee runs blends and named origins side by side, roughly 40% blended. That usually means a house blend doing the volume with single origins rotating alongside it, which is the most forgiving shape a range can have. The roasting spans 3 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 Full Spectrum Coffee coffee costs
The range runs from 54p to 79p a cup across five products. That is a 1.5× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Full Spectrum Coffee expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Honduras in the 1kg, and the dearest is Mexico in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honduras | — | 1kg | £0.54 | £30.00 |
| Wreathiopia | — | 1kg | £0.65 | £36.00 |
| Colombia | — | 1kg | £0.74 | £41.00 |
| Ethiopia | — | 1kg | £0.79 | £44.00 |
| Mexico | — | 1kg | £0.79 | £44.00 |
Bags themselves run £30.00 to £44.00. 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
Honduras is the cheapest thing Full Spectrum Coffee sells, at 54p a cup. We cannot yet set that against a market average, because the range is not yet classified by format, so treat it as the floor of the range rather than a verdict on value.
How Full Spectrum Coffee tastes
We have not tasted Full Spectrum 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 Full Spectrum 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 a house blend to fall back on with named origins to wander into.
- 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 3 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. Full Spectrum 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.
