At 200 g, this bag runs about 5% more 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.
Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

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 51.3 shrunk to 50.8 + bonuses = 48.

Proud mary!! Used to love dukes but wasn't happy when i imported their latest beans. Bbb and 7seeds was good but never got any mindblowing cup from them
- r/Coffee · 5↑ · Dukes Coffee Roasters (Australia) - free int'l coffee shipping to the US and Asian countri
Free shipping (seemingly with no minimums) internationally. Dukes is one of my favourite roasters in Australia (one of the top 10 in an awesome playing field), and well-known in the local market. With the low Australian dollar this is an excellent chance to test something new and interesting.
