At 250 g, this bag runs about 2% more per ounce than a typical 306 g bag; that is pack size, not the coffee.
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.
Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
50
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 54.4 shrunk to 52.5 + bonuses = 50.

About Airship Coffee
Community reputation · Reddit
Mixed reviews· sentiment 64/100
Four independent Reddit threads give Airship Coffee a mixed but generally favorable picture. One commenter said they love Airship, visit its cafes regularly, and use Black Apple as their main home espresso; another reordered two kilograms after an earlier bag became their favorite. A sugar-cane decaf was judged okay, especially for decaf, but did not bloom. A regular Airship buyer said Kochere smelled great yet tasted beefy and overly beany from a moka pot, while questioning whether technique or the coffee caused it.

So I was recently prescribed Adderall and told to cut out caffeine... yay me. I bought a bag of Airship's sugar cane decaf and while its okay, especially for decaf, I noticed it doesn't bloom at all. I got it through Trade so I know it was roasted recently. Its whole bean and I'm grinding it myself. Is this typical for

I usually get the Airship brand and last week they were out of my favorite bean so I grabbed their Ethiopian - Kochere. It smells great! However when I made one in my Moka pot it tasted beefy and overly beany. Maybe it's lack of experience using a Moka pot. Or maybe it's country of origin or whatever the heck kochere i

I had a small 8oz bag before I got from Trade Coffee and of all the beans I've tried this was my favorite. Decided to order a 2kg direct from Airship (they have a crazy good discount if you follow their socials).
