Brand review · 3 min readWogan Coffee coffee review
What Wogan Coffee sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
Wogan Coffee sells 35 coffees in the UK and the cheapest comes out at 41p a cup, which is less than most of the ground coffee we track. Cheap coffee is easy to find and hard to trust, so the useful question is not whether it is cheap. It is what the range actually contains, and whether the bag doing the heavy lifting is the one you would want.
Short answer
Easy-drinking coffee with caramel and chocolate about it, and it costs very little.

What kind of roaster this is
Wogan Coffee sells whole bean, ground and pods in the UK, and we track 35 of their coffees, in 1kg, 28 pods and 500g.
Expect blends here rather than named farms: 97% of the classified range is blended. The trade is a familiar one. You give up the story on the label and you get a cup that does not drift between orders. The buying reaches 11 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 Wogan Coffee coffee costs
The range runs from 22p to 71p a cup across 35 products. That is a 3.2× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is Wogan Coffee expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Con Vivo in the 1kg, and the dearest is Honduras Swiss Water Decaffeinated in the 28 pods.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Con Vivo | — | 1kg | £0.22 | £12.45 |
| MC Decaffeinated | ground | 1kg | £0.41 | £23.00 |
| Riposo Brazil India | ground | 1kg | £0.41 | £23.00 |
| Capitol | ground | 1kg | £0.41 | £23.00 |
| Basic Espresso | pods | 28 pods | £0.42 | — |
| Organic & Fairtrade Espresso Blend | — | 1kg | £0.44 | £24.20 |
| Colombia Continental Dark Roast | ground | 1kg | £0.45 | £24.80 |
| Colombia Excelso Medellín | ground | 1kg | £0.45 | £24.80 |
| Brazil Rio Brilhante | ground | 1kg | £0.45 | £24.90 |

| Legacy Organic Fairtrade Blend | ground | 1kg | £0.47 | £26.00 |
| Omega | ground | 1kg | £0.47 | £26.00 |
Bags themselves run £11.80 to £33.50. 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
If you buy one thing from Wogan Coffee, buy MC Decaffeinated. At 41p a cup it comes in around 41% under the median for ground coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against Wogan Coffee's own list prices. Nothing else in the range gets close on that test.
What that costs over a year
How much coffee do you drink?
- Wogan Coffee£0.41 per cup£302
- Typical ground£0.71 per cup, our median£516
At 2 cups a day, Wogan Coffee costs £214 less a year than the typical ground coffee we track. That is the same coffee habit, bought better.
How Wogan Coffee tastes
We have not tasted Wogan Coffee, 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 Wogan Coffee 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.
- Pod machine owners, though price a compatible capsule for your machine before committing to the brand's own.
- 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. Wogan Coffee clears it comfortably on at least one product, which more brands fail than pass. Worth knowing that the saving is concentrated in the larger bags rather than spread evenly, so buying the small size gives most of it back.
