What We Are Coffee Co sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
We Are Coffee Co asks 75p 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
Bright, fruity coffee for people who already know they like it, at an unremarkable price.

What kind of roaster this is
We Are Coffee Co sells whole bean in the UK, and we track 1 of its coffees, in 227g.
We Are Coffee Co is a blender: 100% of the range we can classify is blended rather than sold as a named origin. That is a choice, not a shortcut. A blend can be rebuilt season to season to taste the same, which is what you want if you buy the same coffee every month and would rather it did not move under you. Everything we track from them traces back to Ethiopia, so this is a narrow book rather than a broad one. Everything is roasted to the same point on our five-point scale, so the roast is not a choice you make here; it is the house style, take it or leave it. Nothing here comes in a kilo bag. That keeps the coffee fresher in your cupboard and costs you the bulk discount, which is the trade you are making whether or not anyone points it out.

The one to buy
Ethiopia is the cheapest thing We Are Coffee Co sells, at 75p 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 We Are Coffee Co tastes
We have not tasted We Are Coffee Co, 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 We Are Coffee Co 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.
- Slow drinkers, and anyone who would rather buy little and often than watch a kilo go stale.
- 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. We Are Coffee Co 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.
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 We Are Coffee Co, and the comparison hubs will put all of them on the same per-cup basis if you want to go wider.
