  • is £18 for 250g of beans a bit pricey, or have I just lost my sense of bearings in the london coffee market?
    Popped into espresso rooms, and was confronted with the price as I'd run out of beans and thought I'd purchase some in person, and got spooked by how expensive (to my mind) their square mile coffee was. To be fair Look Mum were selling the same coffee at the same price...

  • Square Mile package their coffee in 350g bags so that brings it down a bit, but very high quality single origin coffees are regularly hitting those price points and higher. We have a natural process organic Costa Rica at £15/250g, it’s very expensive and risky to produce and economy of scale is low for those intensively quality-controlled lots. There’s still lots of great blends and S.Os between £5 and £10 a bag though.

  • I thought there was a reasoning behind it, it just didn’t know why the price point was so high.
    No point buying beans that expensive to use on the stovetop so I’ll keep buying beans in the £8-10 range..
