How this estimate works
A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Sparse signal
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 59.4 shrunk to 55.4 + bonuses = 52.

Two independent Reddit threads give 49th Parallel Coffee a mixed picture. One buyer struggled to avoid sour or bitter cups across two bags, while a repeat buyer described successful roast-specific brewing adjustments for dark and light coffees.

...ust going to copy what i posted for someone else below, maybe you have further insight. Okay, so I bought two bags of pretty fresh coffee (roasted March 24) from 49th Parallel. This is what I tried, in order: V60 and Asobu Grind 22, bitter Grind 16, sour Grind 18, sour Grind 20, bitter FP Grind 30, sour I also tried

I buy 49th Parallel as well and I’m currently on a bag of their Ethiopian. I find their dark roasts such as French and really light roasts like their single origins require very different treatment . For the darker roasts, I 88° and a grind setting of 15 on my Virtuoso works well. For their single origin Ethiopia, I us

From Coffee Reviews, discussing Ethiopia Guji Jigesa — Filter:
“Day eight was the first day we got this bag. First impression, pretty solid. A little more sweetness than expected, which is a positive thing. Lots of citrus fruit, some slight florals early on. Very traditional washed Ethiopian coffee. Very nice.”
“Lots of lively citrus fruits on that day. Much better than the first time we tried it. Classic well-done Ethiopia.”
“Day 19 our kind of final impression of it. Has a little bit of flavor, but a has lost a little bit of its flavor. Still a delightfully clean cup of coffee.”
