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.

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 73.5 shrunk to 63.5 + bonuses = 67.

Three Reddit posters describe Equator coffees ranging from excellent to technique-sensitive. One says Ethiopia Suke Quto produced possibly the best cup they had ever made with a 4:6 Chemex method. Another uses Equator's Ethiopia Sidama Ardi as a positive benchmark. A third initially struggled with Thailand Doi Pangkhon but brewed a good cup after grinding an hour ahead and letting the grounds rest.

First cup was 20 on the Encore, 60g bloom, and one solid pour after. 300g/20g. It was good! Nothing crazy, kinda lacking flavor. But not

I can get a serviceable cup out of it with my V60 but it hasn’t been as good as some of the Ethiopians I’ve recently purchased from Black & White or Equator Coffees’ Ethiopia Sidama Ardi.

I have been brewing coffee in a V60 for a while now (getting coffee from a Trade subscription) and I recently got a bag of Thailand Doi Pangkhon from Equator Coffees. I brewed with my preferred 4:6 method and also a method I got from Baratza. With both methods, in the bloom, this coffee swells up like crazy. Both cups.
