At 170 g, this bag runs about 7% more 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.

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 67.0 shrunk to 59.8 + bonuses = 57.

Mixed reviews· sentiment 62/100
Three independent Reddit threads give Dragonfly Coffee Roasters a mixed but generally favorable picture. One commenter said its coffee did not live up to the acclaim associated with Coffee Review. A repeat buyer recommended another Dragonfly coffee for caramel, milk-chocolate, hazelnut, and brown-sugar notes and good value. A separate espresso drinker named Crema Dolce a new favorite.

Dragonfly coffee roasters is a repeat order. I've come back to this more than once. A ton of caramel, hints of milk chocolate, hazlenuts, definite brown sugar, not stout at all and distinctly different than the rest. Doesn't punch through the milk like the others do. Still, I recommend this and it is a great value to b
