What Union Hand-Roasted sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
This is an assessment of Union Hand-Roasted as a brand rather than a live price list — for current prices on every product, the Union Hand-Roasted 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 Union Hand-Roasted product are on the Union Hand-Roasted brand page. This review is the analysis that sits alongside it.
The range
Union Hand-Roasted sells whole bean and ground in the UK. We currently track 8 products, in 1kg, 500g and 200g. 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 Union Hand-Roasted coffee costs
We track 8 Union Hand-Roasted products, spanning £0.55 to £1.25 per cup — a 2.3× spread within one brand. The cheapest is Revelation Espresso (1kg); the most expensive is House Roast Specialty (200g).
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation Espresso | whole bean | 1kg | £0.55 | £30.50 |
| Organic Natural Spirit Blend | whole bean | 1kg | £0.56 | £30.99 |
| Daily Roast Espresso | whole bean | 500g | £0.56 | £31.20 |
| Yayu Wild Forest Blend | whole bean | 1kg | £0.57 | £31.50 |
| Revelation Espresso | whole bean | 500g | £0.59 | £32.78 |
| Union Hand Roasted Maraba Rwanda | whole bean | 200g | £0.74 | £41.25 |
| Timana Colombia | ground | 200g | £0.82 | £45.65 |
| House Roast Specialty | ground | 200g | £1.25 | £69.50 |
Pack prices run from £8.25 to £31.50. 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
Revelation Espresso is the cheapest Union Hand-Roasted 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, Union Hand-Roasted 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.

Alternatives worth comparing
Before buying, put Union Hand-Roasted 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.
