Nam Song coffee review

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

Updated 1 August 2026Written by the We Try Coffee teamNo brand paid for a mention

This is an assessment of Nam Song as a brand rather than a live price list — for current prices on every product, the Nam Song 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 Nam Song product are on the Nam Song brand page. This review is the analysis that sits alongside it.

The range

Nam Song sells whole bean in the UK. We currently track 2 products, in 500g and 220g. 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 Nam Song coffee costs

We track 2 Nam Song products, spanning £0.65 to £0.74 per cup — a 1.1× spread within one brand. The cheapest is Vietnamese (500g); the most expensive is Vietnamese (220g).

Pack prices run from £8.99 to £17.99. 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

Vietnamese is the cheapest Nam Song product we track at £0.65 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, Nam Song 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.

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 Nam Song 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.
