What n/a sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
n/a sells 22 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
n/a sells coffee in the UK, and we track 22 of their coffees, in 1kg and 150g.
91% of the n/a range we can classify is blended. Blending has a bad name it does not deserve; it is how a roaster keeps a coffee tasting like itself when the harvest behind it changes, and it is the reason your regular bag is still your regular bag in January. The buying reaches 8 countries across the range, which is a wide book for a brand this size. The roasting spans 5 of our five levels, so there is a genuine choice to make inside the range rather than one house style applied to everything. Bags come in both small and kilo sizes, and the gap between them per kilo is usually the largest saving available anywhere on this page.

What n/a coffee costs
The range runs from 53p to £1.32 a cup across 22 products. That is a 2.5× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is n/a expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is St. Vincent Roast in the 1kg, and the dearest is Pedro Moreno in the 150g.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| St. Vincent Roast | — | 1kg | £0.53 | £29.50 |
| Renfield 35 | — | 1kg | £0.56 | £31.00 |
| Half French | — | 1kg | £0.57 | £31.50 |

| Patricia Coelho | — | 1kg | £0.69 | £38.50 |
| El Colegio | — | 1kg | £0.73 | £40.50 |
Bags themselves run £11.00 to £72.00. 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
St. Vincent Roast is the cheapest thing n/a sells, at 53p 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 n/a tastes
We have not tasted n/a, 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 n/a 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.
- Anyone whose real comparison is supermarket own-brand, judged per cup rather than by the label.
- People who want to choose their own roast rather than take the roaster's word for it, since the range covers 5 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. n/a 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.

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.
What else to consider
No brand is worth buying without knowing what sits next to it on price. These are the closest whole bean coffees we track to n/a, and the comparison hubs will put all of them on the same per-cup basis if you want to go wider.
