What Generic sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
This is an assessment of Generic as a brand rather than a live price list — for current prices on every product, the Generic hub is the page you want. Here we look at how the range is shaped, where it sits on value, and what we would buy instead.
Live prices for every Generic product are on the Generic brand page. This review is the analysis that sits alongside it.
The range
Generic sells whole bean in the UK. We currently track 1 product, in 400g. A brand that spans several formats is usually worth judging format by format — the same name can be excellent value in one and poor in another.
What Generic coffee costs
We track 1 product from Generic, priced at £0.85 per cup.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Costa Coffee Mocha Italia Signature Blend | whole bean | 400g | £0.85 | £47.45 |
Best value in the range
Costa Coffee Mocha Italia Signature Blend is the cheapest Generic product we track at £0.85 per cup. We do not yet have enough whole bean products in the catalogue to say confidently how that compares with the wider market.
Who it suits
- Home espresso and cafetière drinkers, if the large-format bags are within your six-week window.
- Anyone comparing against supermarket own-brand on price per cup rather than on the label.
- Anyone who wants a repeatable cup rather than a rotating single origin.
Value for money
On cost per cup against the median for the same format, Generic sits around the middle of the market. It is not the cheapest route to a cup, and the premium buys convenience and consistency rather than a lower bill.

Alternatives worth comparing
Before buying, put Generic next to the wider format list. The comparison hubs sort every brand we track onto the same per-cup basis, which is the only way to see whether a brand premium is buying you anything.
