Limited listing details: 87th percentile of 15 experimental single-origin lots (other named varieties, retail bags); across markets in stock right now.

Some variety, process or origin details are missing. This comparison does not qualify the coffee for a value recommendation.

At 340 g, this bag runs about 2% less per ounce than a typical 288 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.

Noted

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 83.1 shrunk to 69.0 + bonuses = 71.

Two Reddit commenters describe positive experiences with Devoción coffee. One says the Honey coffee was super smooth in milk and was changing their view of Colombian coffee. Another calls Devoción their clear favorite among several New York roasters they had tried, describing the coffee as clean, bright, and refreshing.

    As I continue to buy from roasters who offer drink wear, I got a bag of Honey from Devocion and their 5oz branded tulip cup, from Loveramics. I now now understand the hype of Loveramics, it's thick, the bottom is insanely thick, the handle fits my finger perfectly and it's a dream to pull shots / pour into. 18.2g in 37

    Congrats on getting into the hobby! I have tried beans from NY roasters such as Joe Coffee (Waverly roast), Birch, Blue Bottle (Hayes Valley), and currently Devoción (Honey). Devoción is head and shoulders my favorite so far, and has this amazing fresh mouthfeel. I can't really put my finger on it, it just tastes super

This video covers Devoción; it is general roaster coverage.

Cherrybook summary of the video

This video profiles Devoción, a coffee company that sources directly from farmers in Colombia. It highlights their unique supply chain model, which prioritizes freshness by roasting coffee shortly after harvest and transporting it quickly to their shops.

Inside this video

From Entrepreneur:

“We decided to create Devoción. And the whole idea back then was, okay, let's go into these areas where you could not really go into, get direct to the farmer, pay them extremely well.”
“The discovery was that we were actually roasting fresh coffee. The produce, the actual bean that's going inside of the roaster is actually fresh.”
