Leading British retailer Marks & Spencer, operated by the Al-Futtaim Group, recently relaunched its full coffee range to offer customers even more top-quality, convenient options for their morning cuppa, all developed by the brand’s specialist team in London to guarantee the very best flavour in every cup, every time. The newly expanded range offers an opportunity for every coffee lover to engage and experience in the rich aromas and flavours of Marks & Spencer Coffee.
No matter how much time customers have to devote to their coffee break, Marks & Spencer’s new range includes everything from great instant coffee and Nespresso-compatible capsules, right through to exquisite beans and ground blends from across the coffee-growing world. There are also several new additions to the much-loved range, including brand-new Coffee Bags: all the convenience of tea bags but with the same great flavour as freshly ground beans. The perfect brew just got a whole lot easier!
Marks & Spencer Lead Product Developer, Jenny Rea, who developed the new range, explains: “With more coffee being enjoyed at home, a good cuppa is now an essential part of the weekly shop and where we would once rely on our favourite coffee shop to teach us all about “proper” coffee, we’re now taking on that education ourselves. Our extensive range caters for all coffee tastes, from specialty-grade instant, through to single origin 100% arabica beans and grounds. Our expert partners source the very best to bring our customers something truly special with every sip.”
“We know that coffee can be a fairly intimidating product to buy. There are so many styles with so many flavour profiles that once customers find one, they love, they tend to stick to it! We’ve made our new range much easier to explore, to help encourage customers to try some new styles while they’re experimenting with their brews at home. And of course, all of our coffees are specialty-grade and Fairtrade certified, meaning you’ll be able to taste the quality with every sip. Happy brewing!”
Marks & Spencer offers a broad range of coffee blends, spanning light to dark roasts and including a delicious new Blonde Coffee, so customers will always be able to find their favourite flavour profile. The newly upgraded M&S Collection Single Origin Coffee beans and ground coffee are all sourced by Marks & Spencer’s specialist buyers from the world’s best coffee-growing regions, then quality graded for a superior taste. The range also includes new bigger 454g bags for those enjoying multiple cups a day.
On the occasion of International Coffee Day, Marks & Spencer will give out a total of 425 free coffee to the first few customers on a first-come, first-serve basis. 100 servings in Dubai Festival City Mall and Yas Mall, 50 cups of coffee in stores such as Dubai Mall, Springs Souq, Marina Walk, and Ibn Battuta, and 25 cups of coffee at Dubai Festival Plaza. Also, don’t miss the buy 1 get 1 half price deal currently available until 28th September only.
All of Marks & Spencer’s coffee is specialty-grade and Fairtrade certified, and its coffee beans and ground blends are all 100% arabica, meaning customers are not only supporting a better quality of life for coffee farmers but also getting a better-quality coffee.

How to make great coffee at home
“No matter how much time you have to devote to coffee-making, I guarantee you can enjoy a delicious cup,” says Marks & Spencer coffee expert Rachel Chatterton.“Our range includes everything – from instant to our fantastic ground coffee and coffee bags, which are perfect for flasks to take for a walk (just brew for four minutes). At the weekend, I love to grind my own beans and try different single-origin brews – a personal favourite is our Peruvian single origin, which has notes of chocolate and almond.”
“When it comes to making coffee at home,” says Rachel, “there are so many ways to enjoy it, from V60 to Nespresso machines – personally, I love to brew a large cafetiere to take me through my morning, but if I’m in a hurry, I go for a one of our great Colombian Nespresso-compatible capsules.”
“Store your coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It’s best to use your beans within two weeks if possible – M&S has a range of pack sizes. Grinding your own coffee is a great way to ensure you taste it at its freshest.”
