What Kenco sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
This is an assessment of Kenco as a brand rather than a live price list — for current prices on every product, the Kenco 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 Kenco product are on the Kenco brand page. This review is the analysis that sits alongside it.
The range
Kenco sells ground and instant in the UK. We currently track 3 products, in 200g and 1kg. 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 Kenco coffee costs
We track 3 Kenco products, spanning £0.06 to £0.51 per cup — a 8.4× spread within one brand. The cheapest is Rich (200g); the most expensive is Westminster (1kg).
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rich | instant | 200g | £0.06 | £30.00 |
| Decaff | instant | 200g | £0.06 | £30.00 |
| Westminster | ground | 1kg | £0.51 | £28.15 |
Pack prices run from £6.00 to £28.15. As always, the pack price is the least useful number here — the per-cup column is the one that compares.
Best value in the range
Rich is the strongest value Kenco currently offers: at £0.06 per cup it sits about 33% below the median cup price for instant coffee across everything we track. That is a comparison against the whole market, not against Kenco's own list prices.
Who it suits
- Convenience-first drinkers who value consistency over control.
- 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 our own test — cost per cup against the median for the same format — Kenco has at least one genuinely strong product in the range. That is a better result than most brands manage, and it is concentrated in the larger pack sizes.

Cheapest per cup first, with live prices.
Prices are the last we fetched and can move. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases — it never changes the order, which is always cheapest per cup first.
Alternatives worth comparing
Before buying, put Kenco 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.
