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.

67
Noted
Preliminary
Confidence3 of 7 signals on file
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 35% 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 13% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 74.7 shrunk to 71.6 + bonuses = 67.

Two Reddit contributors express favorable but qualified views of Commonwealth Joe. One says they are enjoying its Yirgacheffe, though it does not match a different Ethiopian coffee they were waiting for. Another says they enjoy Commonwealth Joe while making clear that a different DC-area roaster is their first choice.

- r/Coffee · 30↑ · When are Ethiopian coffees coming back to counter culture and other roasters?
...tting anxious waiting for Banko Gotitit to come back. I have not seen it for months. Same with Idido. All the websites I look at say coffee is done being harvested in Ethiopia in February. I am enjoying the commonwealth joe yirgacheffe right now but it's not the same as the counter culture stuff. Anyone know what's
- r/Coffee · 20↑ · DC area roasters like Swing's, Vigilante & Ceremony
Vigilante far and away. I've been brewing their beans almost three years now and haven't really disappointed me yet. I also like how they date their bags. It seems like other roasters are moving away from this and it's frustrating. I also enjoy Commonwealth Joe's and Ceremony. Zeke's telltale dark is solid too.
