What mreion sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
mreion sells 11 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.

What kind of roaster this is
mreion sells coffee in the UK, and we track 11 of their coffees, in 250g.
mreion is a blender: 91% of the range we can classify is blended rather than sold as a named origin. That is a choice, not a shortcut. A blend can be rebuilt season to season to taste the same, which is what you want if you buy the same coffee every month and would rather it did not move under you. The buying reaches 8 countries across the range, which is a wide book for a brand this size. The roasting spans 4 of our five levels, so there is a genuine choice to make inside the range rather than one house style applied to everything. 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.

What mreion coffee costs
The range runs from 72p to £1.15 a cup across 11 products. That is a 1.6× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is mreion expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Papua New Guinea in the 250g, and the dearest is Burundi Masha Honey in the 250g.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Papua New Guinea | — | 250g | £0.72 | £40.00 |
| Indian Tiger Paws | — | 250g | £0.76 | £42.00 |
| Brazil Daterra Sunrise | — | 250g | £0.79 | £44.00 |
| Costa Rica SHB EP | — | 250g | £0.79 | £44.00 |
| Brazil Chacara Santo Antonio Peaberry | — | 250g | £0.86 | £48.00 |
| Columbia Sugar Cane Decaf | — | 250g | £0.86 | £48.00 |
| Kenya Asali Estate | — | 250g | £0.94 | £52.00 |
| Moustache Twirler | — | 250g | £0.97 | £54.00 |
| Stockbridge Blend | — | 250g | £0.97 | £54.00 |
| Uganda Clarke Farm Washed | — | 250g | £1.08 | £60.00 |
| Burundi Masha Honey | — | 250g | £1.15 | £64.00 |
Bags themselves run £10.00 to £16.00. 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
Papua New Guinea is the cheapest thing mreion sells, at 72p 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 mreion tastes
We have not tasted mreion, 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 mreion 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.
- Slow drinkers, and anyone who would rather buy little and often than watch a kilo go stale.
- People who want to choose their own roast rather than take the roaster's word for it, since the range covers 4 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. mreion 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.
