I try to avoid Nestle water products.
Like LuckyLuke said, there are a host of other costs, including shipping, import duties, labour, rent, roasting, waste, etc.
I don't live in BA, but there is a business here called Via Express. They import beans from Colombia and Brazil and roast them in the country in different facilities. In my city they offer beans, ground or in capsules for nespresso machines. The price for ground is 40-60k/kg range and I think it tastes pretty good. One is called caramelo but as I understand it doesn't actually have any sugar added to it, its just a light roast and its about 40k/kg.
the website is Via Express Website. they appear to have a location in CABA. Maybe try messaging them on Whatsapp and see if you can pop in to try the flavours and what their pricing is there.
I remember going down the coffee rabbit hole during the pandemic. Grinding they say is the most important stage.
If you buy larger quantities, I would suggest probably vacuum packing and storing it in the fridge maybe. Then just grind as you consume, ideally daily or short time frame as possible. I notice when I buy the stuff ground after a few days the smell and taste can start to diminish.
I think Gadnic/Bidcom are offering some decent coffee grinders lately.
If you were going back to the US the Baratza Encore is probably the most popular grinder to get if you start getting into it. Having the range to grind for espresso (super fine), pour over, french press (coarse) etc is pretty handy.
