What Inverness Coffee Roasting Co. sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
Inverness Coffee Roasting Co. sells 17 coffees in the UK and the cheapest comes out at 51p a cup, which is less than most of the whole bean coffee we track. Cheap coffee is easy to find and hard to trust, so the useful question is not whether it is cheap. It is what the range actually contains, and whether the bag doing the heavy lifting is the one you would want.
Short answer
Easy-drinking coffee with caramel and chocolate about it, for below the going rate.

What kind of roaster this is
Inverness Coffee Roasting Co. sells whole bean in the UK, and we track 17 of their coffees, in 1kg.
Expect blends here rather than named farms: 94% of the classified range is blended. The trade is a familiar one. You give up the story on the label and you get a cup that does not drift between orders. The buying reaches 11 countries across the range, which is a wide book for a brand this size. The roasting spans 5 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.

The one to buy
If you buy one thing from Inverness Coffee Roasting Co., buy Ipanema Estate. At 51p a cup it comes in around 19% under the median for whole bean coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Inverness Coffee Roasting Co.'s own list prices. Nothing else in the range gets close on that test.
What that costs over a year
How much coffee do you drink?

At 2 cups a day, Inverness Coffee Roasting Co. costs £85 less a year than the typical whole bean coffee we track. That is the same coffee habit, bought better.
How Inverness Coffee Roasting Co. tastes
We have not tasted Inverness Coffee Roasting Co., 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 Inverness Coffee Roasting Co. 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 5 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. Inverness Coffee Roasting Co. clears it comfortably on at least one product, which more brands fail than pass. Worth knowing that the saving is concentrated in the larger bags rather than spread evenly, so buying the small size gives most of it back.
