At 250 g, this bag runs about 2% more per ounce than a typical 306 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 73.0 shrunk to 63.2 + bonuses = 60.

Well-regarded· sentiment 78/100
Two Reddit contributions provide positive but limited evidence for Five Senses Coffee. One brewer said an Ethiopian mixed-berry coffee produced an exceptional first V60 with striking aroma and flavor, although later cups did not reproduce it. Another commenter recommended Five Senses espresso beans and said their brother-in-law was using and enjoying them.

...grinder? Espresso is not very forgiving with grind. So you will quickly outgrow your grinder. Took me about 6 months before i was good enough that i knew the grinder was holding me back. Five senses beans roasted for espresso will suit you well. These beans are currently what my brother in law is using and he loves

...with my pours being pretty identical every time, since I've been making 1-2 a day for the last six months. The beans are Ethiopian, from a great specialty roaster (Five Senses in Australia) and had been degassed for five days from roast. Any suggestions?
