What Steampunk Coffee Roasters sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
Steampunk Coffee Roasters asks 67p a cup at its cheapest, which is more than most whole bean 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, priced about where you would expect.

What kind of roaster this is
Steampunk Coffee Roasters sells whole bean in the UK, and we track 7 of their coffees, in 1kg.
About 43% of the classified range is blended, so Steampunk Coffee Roasters 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 spans 3 of our five levels, so there is a genuine choice to make inside the range rather than one house style applied to everything. 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 Steampunk Coffee Roasters coffee costs
The range runs from 67p to £1.80 a cup across seven products. That is a 2.7× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Steampunk Coffee Roasters expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Marco A. Guardabaxo in the 1kg, and the dearest is Peru Simon Brown & Merlith Cruz in the 1kg.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marco A. Guardabaxo | whole bean | 1kg | £0.67 | £37.00 |
| Guatemala Juan Rodriguez | whole bean | 1kg | £0.83 | £46.00 |
| Decaf La Serrania | whole bean | 1kg | £0.86 | £48.00 |
| Burundi Masenga Hill | whole bean | 1kg | £0.86 | £48.00 |
| Burundi Migoti Hill | whole bean | 1kg | £0.90 | £50.00 |
| Ecuador Ricardo Vargas | whole bean | 1kg | £1.04 | £58.00 |
| Peru Simon Brown & Merlith Cruz | whole bean | 1kg | £1.80 | £100.00 |
Bags themselves run £37.00 to £100.00. 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
Marco A. Guardabaxo is the cheapest thing Steampunk Coffee Roasters sells, at 67p 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.

How Steampunk Coffee Roasters tastes
We have not tasted Steampunk Coffee Roasters, 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 Steampunk Coffee Roasters 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 want to choose their own roast rather than take the roaster's word for it, since the range covers 3 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. Steampunk Coffee Roasters 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.
