At 454 g, this bag runs about 6% less per ounce than a typical 287 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.

Confident

Confidence3 of 7 signals on file

Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 43% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

    I too don't like spending $30+ on coffee every week and have found that Dead Reckoning from corvus is a great cheaper bag. It's a blend with natural Ethiopian in the mix which really shines through. I used to get their natural African du jour but this is just consistently good.

    ...lling longer and higher yield should help dial in. What machine are you using, might need to go up in temp, I've gone to 205 on lighter roast. Fwiw I've been to Corvus and like their coffee, I wouldn't say their as light as others, I had some great espresso and drinks there. If your in Denver near them, try their ni

This video covers Corvus Coffee Roasters; it is general roaster coverage.

Cherrybook summary of the video

A tour of Corvus Coffee Roasters in Denver, Colorado, led by Nolan. The video highlights their single-person production stations, custom nitrogen flushing packaging system, rigorous QC/cupping lab, and long-standing producer relationships spanning over a decade.

Inside this video

From Roaster Kat:

“We're trying to push out the freshness concept a little further, and just stored in a bag one month is like where it's really starting to be the best.”
“We're relationship driven by far. Some of our longest-standing relationships now are going on 15 years.”
“The sample roast should give you an idea of what flavors are in the coffee, and then you need to conceptualize that to how your roaster performs.”
