What the ₹500 limit includes
The comparison above uses the price of a pack you can actually order. Each selected pack contains at least 200 g and was listed at ₹500 or less when checked. Delivery is extra unless the seller says otherwise. Coffee–chicory blends are included and identified; they are not the same product as pure coffee.
A ₹999 bag containing 500 g does not qualify. Its price works out to less than ₹500 per 250 g, but you would still have to spend ₹999 to buy it. Sample packs, subscription-only prices and variants with unclear weights are excluded.
Compare the cost of the drink you make
Unit price helps compare pack sizes. Divide the pack price by its weight, then multiply by 100 to get the price per 100 g. For a 15 g dose, multiply by 15 instead.
For example, a hypothetical ₹400 / 250 g pack costs ₹160 per 100 g, or ₹24 for 15 g. That is the cost of the dry product only. Milk, sugar, filters, electricity and delivery are additional. The 15 g dose is a calculation reference, not a recipe recommendation for every brewer.
For a blend containing chicory, the calculation refers to 15 g of that blend. It should not be read as the price of 15 g of pure coffee.
Check the grind before the price
An inexpensive bag of whole beans is useful only if you can grind it. If you use a South Indian metal filter, select the seller's filter grind and check whether the blend contains chicory. A pack sold for cold brew may use a much coarser grind. Do not assume one pre-ground pack will suit both.
Use our filter-coffee comparison to check the blend and format, or the cold-brew comparison for coffees sold with cold-brew grind options.
What to check at checkout
- The selected weight and grind match the comparison row.
- The actual pack price is still within your budget.
- Delivery charges do not make a second seller cheaper overall.
- The seller states when it roasts or dispatches; an old check date is not a freshness guarantee.
