What Rave Coffee sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
This is an assessment of Rave Coffee as a brand rather than a live price list — for current prices on every product, the Rave Coffee 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 Rave Coffee product are on the Rave Coffee brand page. This review is the analysis that sits alongside it.
The range
Rave Coffee sells whole bean in the UK. We currently track 10 products, in 1kg and 250g. 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 Rave Coffee coffee costs
We track 10 Rave Coffee products, spanning £0.55 to £0.92 per cup — a 1.7× spread within one brand. The cheapest is Signature Blend Nº 1 (1kg); the most expensive is Strong (250g).
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Signature Blend Nº 1 | whole bean | 1kg | £0.55 | £30.80 |
| Fudge Blend Nº 5 | whole bean | 1kg | £0.55 | £30.80 |
| Chatswood Blend Nº 6 | whole bean | 1kg | £0.59 | £32.93 |
| The Italian Job Blend Nº 2 | whole bean | 1kg | £0.62 | £34.31 |
| The Italian Job Blend Nº 2 | whole bean | 250g | £0.82 | £45.44 |
| Signature Blend Nº 1 | whole bean | 250g | £0.83 | £46.36 |
| Fudge Blend Nº 5 | whole bean | 250g | £0.83 | £46.36 |
| Espresso Blend Nº 4 | whole bean | 250g | £0.83 | £46.36 |
| Indian Monsoon Malabar Nº 53 | whole bean | 250g | £0.88 | £48.92 |
| Strong | whole bean | 250g | £0.92 | £50.96 |
Pack prices run from £11.36 to £34.31. 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
Signature Blend Nº 1 is the cheapest Rave Coffee product we track at £0.55 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, Rave Coffee 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.

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 Rave Coffee 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.
