Brand review · 3 min readPLOT Roasting coffee review
What PLOT Roasting sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
PLOT Roasting asks 72p a cup at its cheapest, which is more than most ground coffee we list. Plenty of brands charge that and are worth it. The question is what you get for the difference, so here is the range, what it costs against everything else, and where we would put the money.
Short answer
Delicate and fruit-forward rather than strong, at the going rate.

What kind of roaster this is
PLOT Roasting sells whole bean and ground in the UK, and we track 11 of their coffees, in 1kg.
About 55% of the classified range is blended, so PLOT Roasting is playing both games: something dependable to reorder, and something changing to be curious about. The buying reaches 6 countries across the range, which is a wide book for a brand this size. The roasting sits on just 2 of our five levels, so this is a range with a house style rather than a spread to pick from. 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.

What PLOT Roasting coffee costs
The range runs from 64p to £2.59 a cup across 11 products. That is a 4× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is PLOT Roasting expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is SURE SHOT Espresso in the 1kg, and the dearest is Icon 67 in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SURE SHOT Espresso | — | 1kg | £0.64 | £35.75 |
| Thiriku | ground | 1kg | £0.72 | £40.25 |
| FLOW STATE Espresso | — | 1kg | £0.76 | £42.00 |
| NIGHTCAP Decaf | — | 1kg | £0.79 | £44.00 |
| FRUIT LOOP Espresso | — | 1kg | £0.79 | £44.00 |
| Tutti Frutti | — | 1kg | £0.95 | £52.75 |
| Marcelino Chinguel | ground | 1kg | £0.96 | £53.50 |
| Las Etíopes | ground | 1kg | £1.13 | £63.00 |
| Icon 68 | ground | 1kg | £1.56 | £86.50 |
| Maria Omaira | ground | 1kg | £2.04 | £113.25 |
| Icon 67 | ground | 1kg | £2.59 | £143.75 |
Bags themselves run £35.75 to £143.75. 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
SURE SHOT Espresso is the cheapest thing PLOT Roasting sells, at 64p a cup. We cannot yet set that against a market average for whole bean coffee, so treat it as the floor of the range rather than a verdict on value.
What that costs over a year

How PLOT Roasting tastes
We have not tasted PLOT Roasting, 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 PLOT Roasting 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 want a house blend to fall back on with named origins to wander into.
- Households getting through real volume. The kilo bags are the whole value case, and they only work if you drink them fresh.
- People who already know they like a light roast, because that is essentially all there is here.
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. PLOT Roasting 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.
